14 Million Shiba Inu Torched as Burn Rate Jumps 404%

by

As a seasoned researcher with extensive experience in the volatile world of digital currencies, I find myself intrigued by the recent developments in Shiba Inu (SHIB). The consistent daily burn rate, despite being modest, has shown remarkable resilience and could potentially spark a trend reversal. However, it’s essential to remember that this deflationary metric alone may not be enough to significantly boost SHIB’s value.

Following a price decrease lasting a full week for many digital currencies, coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) are now making an effort to reverse this trend. This meme coin is relying on its daily burn rate, which serves as a deflationary feature and has caused an increase today. At the moment of publication, the SHIB burn rate had increased by 404.31%.

SHIB burn surge to trigger trend reversal?

The data indicates that approximately 14 million Shiba Inu tokens were destroyed within a day. Multiple wallets contributed to this total, with the largest one responsible for over 7.2 million of those being torched. The ID of this significant wallet is “0x463…b9758”.

After the introduction of ShibTorch (or the Shibarium burn portal), there hasn’t been a change in the amount of tokens being sent to inactive wallets. Although burning is expected to occur automatically as part of on-chain transactions, it suggests a relatively low level of activity within the ecosystem.

Although this decrease occurred, information from Shibburn shows that over 312 million SHIB were moved into inactive wallets within the last week. One comfort for members of the Shiba Inu community is the reliability of the deflationary aspect. While the amount burned each day may be small, the consistency is proving beneficial.

One aim for the meme token is to reduce its overall circulation significantly, which could potentially spark a substantial increase in its value.

Beyond token burning

As part of its strategy to increase the coin’s future value, the core development team aims not only at causing Shiba Inu inflation but also has more ambitious plans in store.

Initially, there’s a proposal to transition into decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance for our community. This means that SHIB holders will have the opportunity to influence decisions regarding the protocol, effectively regaining control over its direction.

Additionally, the token comes with a developer’s kit for creating and deploying practical dApps within the ecosystem. Although it is not currently operational, this Shiba Inu framework could potentially increase utility, stimulate demand for the token, and foster future price increases.
