Shiba Inu Experiences Meteoric 3,894% Surge in Token Burn Rate, Millions of SHIB Disappear

The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency community is witnessing an unprecedented surge in its token burn rate, soaring by an astonishing 3,894%. This surge has resulted in the permanent removal of millions of SHIB tokens from circulation.

Token burning involves the deliberate elimination of a certain amount of cryptocurrency to reduce its total supply. Typically, these tokens are sent to a "burn" address, rendering them irretrievable. The primary aim behind token burning is to instill scarcity, potentially driving up the value of the remaining tokens.

Over the past 24 hours, Shiba Inu has experienced a remarkable increase in its burn rate, witnessing the torching of millions of tokens.

According to Shibburn X's data, a total of 4,829,147 SHIB tokens were burned across seven transactions within the last day, leading to the aforementioned 3,894% surge in the burn rate.

This surge in SHIB burns aligns with a sudden spike in interest from whale investors, with the number of substantial transactions involving SHIB doubling this week compared to earlier averages in 2024.

Santiment reports that Shiba Inu's recent surge seems to be driven by increased whale interest, as evidenced by the doubling in $100,000 transactions on the Shiba Inu network this week compared to typical 2024 levels, indicating accumulation.

Following a sharp rebound from intraday lows of $0.00002284 on June 4, Shiba Inu surged past the daily SMA 50 at $0.00002471, reaching highs of $0.00002625 before encountering resistance in today's trading session.

At the time of reporting, SHIB experienced a 1.5% dip in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.00002562, yet marking a 7% increase over the past seven days and a staggering 218% rise year-over-year.

Data from IntoTheBlock reveals a 223% surge in large transaction volume for SHIB, with $435.66 million transacted in transactions exceeding $100,000. This metric serves as an estimate of total activity among institutional players and whales on any given day, indicating significant involvement in buying or selling activities.
