Exploring the surge in Shiba Inu’s monthly burn rate, which skyrocketed by 2,330%: who’s leading the charge? The SHIB community burned more than 15 billion SHIB tokens in March, equivalent to over half a million dollars.
A significant portion of these burns, around 13.4 billion SHIB, resulted from fees collected on Shibarium’s Layer-2 platform. Now, the community eagerly anticipates the activation of Shibarium’s automatic burn mechanism.
Shiba Inu’s Massive Monthly Burns in March: A Closer Look
In a surprising turn of events, Shiba Inu (SHIB) witnessed a substantial surge in its cumulative monthly burns as April began. Shibburn, the official tracker for Shiba Inu burns, revealed the staggering results for March.
During the month, the SHIB Army, as the Shiba Inu community is known, orchestrated over 15 billion burns. This amounted to a total of 15,644,329,668 SHIB tokens being transferred across 217 transactions to inactive on-chain wallets. In terms of fiat currency, this translated to an impressive $547,216, marking a significant increase from February’s SHIB burns, which were limited to 643,656,418 SHIB tokens.

The most substantial burns occurred on March 9, 2024, when the SHIB Token’s executive team executed a bulk transaction burning cumulative Shibarium gas fees, totaling 13.4 billion SHIB. Notably, the decision to conduct these cumulative SHIB burns in March instead of February likely played a significant role in the remarkable 2,330% spike observed in Shibburn activities.
The Impressive Contributions Behind Shiba Inu’s Burn Surge
Amidst the surge in Shiba Inu’s monthly burns, known as Shibburns, the community, including the Good Shibarians, has actively participated in incinerating SHIB tokens. From individual transactions torching thousands to tens of millions of coins, the collective effort has been significant. Notably, SHIB Token’s executive team and crypto enthusiasts collectively burned 26.22 billion SHIB in the initial three months of 2024.
Nevertheless, there’s a growing sense of impatience among the SHIB Army regarding the delayed implementation of Shibarium’s automatic on-chain burning mechanism. Despite reaching out to Shiba Inu’s team for updates, the community has yet to receive a response. The developer team has stated that the automatic burning consensus is operational on Shibarium’s testnet, ‘Puppynet,’ and is expected to transition to Shibarium’s mainnet soon.
The remarkable 2,330% increase in burns witnessed in March played a significant role in SHIB’s price surge, which soared by 145%. However, as April commences, SHIB faces a market correction in the double digits. Presently, the coin is trading at $0.00002677, as reported by independent crypto price aggregator CoinGecko.
In Summary
The Shiba Inu automatic burning system, initially slated for January 2024, intends to expedite SHIB burns. However, various factors must be taken into account. For instance, Shibarium’s team stresses the importance of bolstering on-chain liquidity and developer activity, as the accumulated fees play a crucial role in burning SHIB tokens. Tokenomics relies on active community engagement and developer team responsibility to maintain a sustainable crypto ecosystem.
