Shiba Inu’s burn rate has gathered momentum, as the community sent over 814 million SHIB tokens to dead wallets. The latest data from shibburn showed 5 million tokens have been incinerated.
The burn rate is the rate at which the total supply of SHIB tokens is reduced. This is done to increase their value and is initiated by SHIB community members.
Koyo [KOY], a token launched on March 10 and inspired by the community, was the one who took the lead to initiate the biggest burn transaction. The founder of KoyArmy said that the token burn is just the beginning because the community has plans to increase burn rates soon.
Since the Shibarium testnet went live a few weeks ago, the burn rate of the SHIB token has increased by an astounding 10,000%.
On March 11, a test version of Shibarium called Puppynet was released. To top that, the number of daily transfers on Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scaling protocol Shibarium recently tapped an all-time high.
According to information provided by Lucie Sasnikova, a well-known Shib member who goes under the Twitter name @LucieSHIB, the number of testers on Shibarium has been increasing quickly.
Simply put, the number of daily transactions recorded a peak of over 41,600 which the member illustrated by a screenshot.
Sasnikova also pondered on whether Shibarium will be able to surpass Base, the Layer 2 Ethereum network recently introduced by the Coinbase exchange.
It is worth mentioning that the number of participating wallets on Shibarium is 51,781, the average block time is five seconds, and there have been approximately 110,000 transactions to date.
Shiba Inu Become Trillionaires Favourite
The Shiba Inu token became popular among trillionaires, as the wealthy group increased their tally by almost 5% in a month, bringing the total to 42.
Additionally, large-scale investors, which hold between one million and ten million SHIB tokens, have also experienced growth.
The dynamics of the market and the price performance of the meme cryptocurrency are significantly impacted by a rise in the whale count.
One of its positive effects is higher interest and growth potential, fostering investor confidence and increasing demand for the token, which would then raise its price.
At press time, SHIB was up by 3% in the last 24 hours at $0.00001064 as the crypto market recovers from its selloff earlier in the week.
