Shiba Inu is flaming red-hot
In the past several months, SHIB burns have grown quite important. Interest has grown as a result of reducing the meme coin’s circulating supply. The burn rate was increased by 231% as a result of recent activities that took place over the weekend.
But compared to the weekly burn, there has been a drop in the burn rate in the last 24 hours. According to Shibburn, around 79,566,837 SHIB were burned in the last 24 hours, which is a 56.27% drop.
The soaring burn rates don’t seem to have a positive effect on the price of SHIB. SHIB is currently trading at $0.00001096, a 2.33% down in the last 24 hours. It is also down 87% from its all-time high. SHIB has a long way to go and has to keep the flames burning alongside to surpass its all-time high.
