- Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens have experienced a surge in burn rate through transactions, resulting in a 4% rise in the past day and making it the second-highest gainer among large cryptocurrencies by market cap, following Dogecoin (DOGE).
- The Shiba Inu army's consistency in burning SHIB tokens has contributed to the upward movement of the token, as evidenced by a 20% spike in burn rate over the past 24 hours.
- The SHIB superstore burned the highest number of tokens in a single transaction during its weekly burn event, reporting 9.5 million burned SHIB tokens and distributing an additional 9.4 million SHIB tokens to the community as a reward, marking an "advancement in community support and encouragement in the continuous event of burning SHIB."
Over the last 24 hours, there has been a significant surge in the burn rate of Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens through transactions. This has resulted in SHIB experiencing a rise of almost 4% in the past day, emerging as the second-highest gainer among large cryptocurrencies by market cap, trailing only Dogecoin (DOGE).
Despite recording a sharp decline last week, SHIB is currently in the green, hitting a 24-hour high of $0.00001144 and a low of $0.00001057. This token's upward movement can be attributed to the Shiba Inu army's consistency in burning SHIB tokens, as evidenced by the token's burn rate recording over 20% spike in the last 24 hours.
According to the Shiba Inu burn tracker, Shibburn, over 25 million SHIB tokens have been burned in the past 24 hours via eight separate transactions. Notably, the SHIB super store, a themed SHIB product, burned the highest number of tokens in a single transaction through its weekly burn event, reporting 9.5 million burned SHIB tokens over the past 24 hours.
Alongside the burned tokens, the SHIB superstore also distributed an additional 9.4 million Shiba Inu tokens to the community as a reward. According to the platform, this move is an "advancement in community support and encouragement in the continuous event of burning SHIB."
Since September 2021, the SHIB superstore has been a key player in the weekly SHIB burn events, having burned 3.48 billion SHIB and distributed roughly 314 million SHIB to the community via its burn and earn program. As of last month, the SHIB superstore had recorded over 6.7 billion SHIB burned via 540 distinct transactions.
Despite the total amount of SHIB burned over the past week being significantly higher than the amount burned in the past few days, the SHIB price has surged from its low of $0.00001057 seen earlier today. Currently, SHIB is moving in a bullish trend, following DOGE price action. In the last 24 hours, SHIB's market cap has added over $400 million, almost 4%. At the time of writing, the SHIB market cap sits at $6.7 billion. Interestingly, the asset's trading volume hasn't moved much compared to earlier today, with a 24-hour trading volume of $291 million.
Meanwhile, DOGE has recorded a double-digit gain, up by 17% in the last 24 hours. The asset is currently trading at $0.0914 with a market cap of $12.9 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $1.8 billion.
In addition to the spike in SHIB burn rate, another factor contributing to the recent rally of SHIB is the growing interest and adoption of the token by various institutions and platforms. For instance, Robinhood recently announced that it would soon allow users to deposit and withdraw cryptocurrencies, including SHIB, from its platform. This move is expected to drive more adoption and trading of SHIB.
Moreover, various cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance and KuCoin, have also listed SHIB on their platforms, providing more avenues for investors to trade the token.
The recent surge in SHIB price and burn rate highlights the increasing influence of community-driven cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency market. SHIB, which started as a meme coin, has grown to become a major player in the market, thanks to the efforts of its community.
While the long-term prospects of SHIB remain uncertain, the recent rally and adoption of the token show that it has the potential to grow further and become a significant player in the cryptocurrency market. However, investors are advised to exercise caution and conduct proper research before investing in any cryptocurrency, as the market remains highly volatile and unpredictable.
