The Shiba Inu burn rate has experienced a dramatic rise, soaring by over 24,271% in just one day, then settling to a still impressive 421% surge recently!

Shibarium's 150 Million Transactions Drive SHIB Burns
Shibarium’s total value locked crosses $1 million after a 3-month hiatus, signaling renewed confidence in the network. Shiba Inu's layer-2 network, Shibarium, has witnessed a 44,397.9% surge in daily transaction volume. This increase is directly contributing to a spike in the SHIB token burn rate. The developer team behind Shibarium carried out their promise to conduct three massive Shiba [token burns].
What is a Shiba Inu Burn and How Does it Work?
The Shiba Inu Coin burn mechanism is a strategic process designed to reduce the total supply of SHIB tokens by sending them to “burner” addresses, which are essentially inaccessible digital wallets. Burns are calculated using three special addresses, two dead wallets which have no obtainable keys and tokens sent to the Genesis address (Black Hole) which reduces the supply. This deliberate reduction in supply aims to increase scarcity and potentially drive up the value of remaining SHIB tokens.
Dramatic Rise in Burn Rate & Token Supply Reduction
This resulted in a spike in the SHIB token burn rate by over 900%! An impressive 5.31 million SHIB tokens were burned during this period, leading to a total burn of 410.68 trillion tokens from the initial Shiba Inu supply. This massive token burn, as reported by the Shibburn tracking [website], highlights the community's dedication to reducing the token supply.
