The Shiba Inu community is actively burning SHIB tokens, and it’s gaining momentum with each passing day. In the last 24 hours, there has been another substantial increase in the burn rate as millions of tokens were sent to the burn address. This ongoing initiative reflects the community’s commitment to reducing the total supply of SHIB tokens.
Data from the Shibburn website reveals a remarkable 421% surge in the SHIB burn rate over the past 24 hours. This increase contrasts with the community’s activity on the previous day, where just over 1 million tokens were burned. The Shiba Inu community appears to be actively adjusting its approach, contributing to the heightened burn rate as part of their ongoing efforts.
Surge in SHIB Burn Rate: 5.3 Million Tokens Incinerated
In the latest development, the Shiba Inu community has witnessed a significant spike in the SHIB burn rate, with more than 5.3 million tokens incinerated. This notable increase, amounting to a 421% spike, is highlighted by data from the Shibburn website. Interestingly, the majority of these burns, totaling less than 10 addresses, indicate a concentrated effort within the community.
Specifically, only six burn transactions were recorded in the last 24 hours at the time of this writing, revealing a focused activity in burning SHIB tokens. One wallet, identified as “0x9d1e,” contributed half of the total burn figure through two identical transactions, each burning 1,777,777 tokens and totaling over 2.5 million tokens burned.
Another wallet, labeled “0x60812,” burned a significant 1 million tokens, while the remaining burn transactions for the day involved less than 1 million tokens each.
This daily surge has not only impacted the immediate timeframe but has also contributed to a noteworthy increase over the past week. Shibburn statistics indicate a staggering 4,145% spike in the weekly burn rate, with over 8.6 billion tokens burned during this period. This sustained momentum underscores the community’s commitment to reducing the overall supply of SHIB tokens.

Shiba Inu Team Initiates Explosive SHIB Burns
The impressive surge in the SHIB burn rate can be attributed to the proactive efforts of the Shiba Inu team. Lead developer Shytoshi Kusama unveiled a strategy to utilize fees collected on the Shibarium blockchain for purchasing SHIB tokens, subsequently burning them. This approach has already resulted in two significant burns.
On December 5, the Shiba Inu team executed a burn of 8.2 billion tokens, catapulting the burn rate to an astonishing 7.6 million percent increase. Another substantial burn occurred two weeks later, with the team incinerating an additional 8.2 billion tokens, resulting in a remarkable 770,000% spike in the burn rate.
Anticipating more sizable burns from the Shiba Inu team, with over $1.2 million allocated for future burns, the burn rate is expected to continue its upward trajectory. This trend, while positively impacting the SHIB price, is beneficial as it reduces the overall number of tokens in circulation, contributing to the cryptocurrency’s potential value appreciation.
