As expected the announcement has drawn the interest of the crypto community and many have responded positively to the development. Shiba Inu has continued to grow in recent weeks with many platforms listing Shiba and other ecosystems tokens like Bone and Leash.

Shiba Inu burning mechanism

The process of burning Shiba Inu usually involves sending coins to dormant wallet addresses to remove them from circulation. In recent weeks more than 2 billion Shib tokens have been burned by community-led initiatives.

Projects such as ScareCrow automatically use the tax amounts to buy SHIB and burn whenever holders buy or sell tokens. While others like 1Cent use the burning mechanism to ensure the progress of its ecosystem.

Shiba Inu price

Shiba Inu has received a major jolt in the bearish crypto market due to the announcement. However, the gains have not overtaken the current state of the crypto market. Shib is down 0.42% and ranked 15th on the CoinMarketCap coin rankings.
