The Shiba Inu community has demonstrated unwavering support for the meme coin with a staggering 96,086,320 SHIB tokens (worth $1,364) burned in a single transaction on Thursday, August 29th. This marks the largest burn event for SHIB in the past two months.
The transaction, executed at 21:19 UTC, involved an anonymous wallet connected to the Coinbase exchange. This wallet had been inactive for 154 days before the massive burn, sparking speculation about the motives behind the move.
Shiba Inu Burn Rate Surges
Prior to this event, another significant burn of 290.43 million SHIB tokens was recorded on June 30th. These two major burns highlight the ongoing commitment within the community to reduce the available supply of SHIB, potentially enhancing its market value.
In the past 24 hours alone, the community has incinerated a total of 96.43 million SHIB tokens, distributed across two major transactions. This concerted effort resulted in an extraordinary spike in the Shiba Inu burn rate, which increased by 28,145% compared to the previous day’s figures.
Shibarium and Game Launch Boost Burn Efforts
To further strengthen these burn efforts, the Shiba Inu team is introducing several initiatives. One major advancement is the introduction of ShibTorch, a portal designed to automate the burning of SHIB tokens through transaction fees generated on the Shibarium blockchain.
Additionally, the ecosystem is about to receive its second Shibarium-based web3 game, “Agent Shiboshi.” This game, now available on Apple App Store and Google Play Store, will be migrated to Shibarium in the future, potentially contributing to the burning of SHIB tokens.
As the Shiba Inu community continues to actively participate in burn events and support initiatives like Shibarium and “Agent Shiboshi,” the potential for a significant reduction in SHIB’s circulating supply increases. This could have a positive impact on the token’s price and overall market value.
