Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surges Over 8000%

The Shiba Inu (SHIB) cryptocurrency ecosystem saw a sharp increase in its burn rate on Tuesday, with 3,106,197 SHIB tokens burned, representing an 8,193.59% rise in the burn rate.

Data from Etherscan indicated that the sudden spike in SHIB’s burn rate saw over three million tokens sent to dead wallets, effectively removing them from circulation. This process occurred across eight separate transactions, one of which involved burning one million tokens in a single go. The increased burn rate was noted when SHIB’s burn activities had generally decreased, coinciding with a recent downtrend in the token’s price.

Following the reported burn activities, SHIB’s price briefly jumped to $0.00001367 in the early hours of Tuesday. However, this gain was short-lived, with the token’s value dropping to $0.00001359 by the afternoon and sliding further to close at $0.00001324. Shiba Inu’s market volume decreased by 20.54% to $135.49 million.

The increase in burn activity comes amid a series of developments within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Shibarium’s official liquid staking protocol, K9 Finance, is set to offer staking opportunities for users holding BONE tokens. Also, K9 is introducing a dual-chain mechanism that enables users to stake their assets more effectively and affordably. Through liquid staking, users can commit their tokens while retaining liquidity. This allows them to utilize or trade their assets elsewhere without missing out on the rewards. However, the platform is positioned to enhance participation in governance and other network activities.

In addition, Shiba Eternity Web3 also unleashed new updates, including tournaments and fixes.

The latest developments in the Shiba Inu ecosystem are overarching plans to improve its decentralized financial products. Concentrating on diminishing supply via token burning and augmenting utility with new token features, the Shiba Inu network is setting itself up for ongoing progress and expansion in decentralized finance.

At the time of writing, SHIB has increased by 0.62% over 24 hours. However, according to Coinmarketcap, the coin is trading at $0.00001335.
