Shiba Inu, the altcoin that is on everyone’s radar, has an anti-deflationary burn mechanism that is well-known in the community. The easiest approach to knock zeroes off Shiba Inu’s worth and move it ever closer to the $1-value is to increase demand through innovation, which is combined with a reduction in supply. 

According to the Shibburn portal, there have been 33 transactions and 1,157,908,364 $SHIB tokens burned in the last 24 hours. Moreover, the current burn rate is up by 86.37%.  

However, even with the burn mechanism in place, it doesn’t seem to have much of an effect on SHIB’s price. The 24-hour chart, SHIB has gone down by 0.7%.

At the time of publication, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00002338, up 8.0% in the 7-day chart. But, the gains don’t appear to be correlated to the burns, but in fact due to an overall market correction. 

Shiba Inu Burn Mechanism 

Burning is implemented through three gateways, according to Queenie, the administrator of SHIB’s discord. 

ShibaSwap 2.0, Shibarium, and Shiba Inu’s new burn portal are the only places that permit burning. That leaves Shiba Inu games, which will be the sole project without a burn mechanism.

Previously Shiba Inu burns were carried out individually by community members tracking SHIB transfers to dead wallets prior to the announcement of the new burn gateway.

Can SHIB hit it’s 1-Cent goal?

SHIB has a plethora of collaborations and small-scale adoptions. 

Fashion designer, John Richmond, had recently revealed the very first Shiba Inu NFT, which is one of 10,000 that will be displayed at the Milan Fashion Week 2022. 

AMC Theatres just stated that they will take SHIB and Doge as legal payment. In addition, the Turkish ambulance service Vita Plus stated that SHIB will be recognized as payment. 

SHIB, BONE, and Leash are accepted as payment at a car dealership in New Jersey called ‘$499 Down Now.’ 

SHIB adoption for ordinary shopping is becoming more common and the token is gradually evolving into a ‘lifestyle brand.’ The development could be viewed as a catalyst for SHIB to begin moving in the direction of the one-cent mark
