Shiba Inu Burns Rises
SHIB is currently trading around $0.00001067, up 3.5% in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency is down 68.2% Year-to-Date (YTD), which has prompted members of the Shiba Inu community to engage in ways to boost the token’s value.
The community’s efforts to increase Shiba Inu’s value have led to the ongoing official burn program.
Since the initiative launched this year, trillions of SHIB have been removed from circulation with the community, hoping that it would get back the cryptocurrency’s price to its high standards.
Despite burning over 410 trillion units of Shiba Inu from the circulating supply, the community is still interested in burning more tokens.
In a recent development, over 508.8 million SHIBs were burnt in 15 transactions in the last 24 hours, thus bringing the total of burnt tokens to 410.3 trillion.
