Shiba Inu ETF Craze Triggers Over 3,600% Burn Rate, Price Rally Ahead?

As the Shiba Inu community buzzes about a possible SHIB ETF, participants continue to actively play their part in reducing the amount of tokens in circulation. According to a recent update, the Shiba Inu burn rate has skyrocketed by more than 3,600% in the last 24 hours. This development has ignited speculations about a potential impact on the price of SHIB in the short term.

However, the price of the coin has been consolidating around $0.000016 in the last seven days, raising questions about the possibility of a break out of this level to the $0.000017 zone. Will this be the case? Let us look at the burn rate hike in detail.

More Than 71 Million SHIB Destroyed in One Day

Shibburn, a dedicated Shiba Inu burn tracker, reported that the rate at which Shiba Inu was burned in the last 24 hours has Surged by 3,641%. Consequently, about 71,187,963 Shiba Inu coins were removed from circulation. Interestingly, these many tokens were burned across seven transactions.

Notably, one transaction destroyed more than 90% of the entire burn. According to data from the Shibburn website, the transaction, carried out about 20 hours ago from press time, moved exactly 69 million SHIB tokens to a burn address. An hour before that, about 1.17 million SHIB were burned.

The other recorded transactions destroyed below 500k SHIB tokens. So far, the dedicated Shiba Inu community, popularly known as the SHIB army, has successfully removed over 410.7 trillion SHIB from circulation, remaining a staggering 583.3 trillion.

It is important to note that the idea behind the burn mechanism is to drastically reduce the amount of SHIB in circulation to a point where demand can exceed supply. This can then increase the value of the asset, reaching desired heights. While the total amount of SHIB in circulation is still significantly large, the community members are resilient in their quest and it will be interesting to see how it plays out in the future.
