Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) burn rate skyrocketed by 3900% within a 24-hour period, with a single wallet contributing 4.03 million burned tokens. This significant reduction in circulating SHIB tokens has stirred the cryptocurrency community, potentially leading to a price increase due to decreased supply.
The recent surge in Shiba Inu’s burn rate has caused excitement within the crypto community. By removing SHIB tokens from circulation, the burn process aims to reduce the overall supply, possibly driving up the token’s value. The 3900% increase in the burn rate was largely influenced by one wallet, which burned 4.03 million tokens. This community-driven effort, along with smaller contributions from other members, has significantly cut down SHIB’s circulating supply.

Whale Activity And Market Sentiment
Moreover, whales and major SHIB holders have actively been purchasing tokens, adding to the optimism. Nine whale wallets collectively invested $35.2 million to acquire 1.356 trillion SHIB tokens. This substantial investment indicates the whales’ confidence in SHIB’s potential for future growth. The combination of reduced supply through burning and increased whale buying has sparked hope among investors and traders for a possible SHIB price rally.

While the burn rate and whale investments provide some positive signals, the overall bearish trend, declining network growth, and reduced trading velocity present challenges for SHIB’s future performance.
