The Shibburn portal, which tracks transactions removing Shiba Inu meme coins from circulation, has shared an update about a substantial four-digit increase in the daily burn rate of the second-largest meme coin, Shiba Inu.
Meanwhile, the $SHIB team has recently published an update, celebrating the recent surge in $SHIB holders around the world.
Burn rate jumps by 1,086%, 23.7 million $SHIB gone
The above-mentioned data source spread the word about a massive single-day increase in the $SHIB burn rate. Over the past 24 hours, this metric has surged by slightly over 1,086%. This became possible thanks to 23,729,119 $SHIB coins getting burned in total.
This cumulative burn contained 10 burn transactions, where the largest ones carried millions of $SHIB to unspendable wallets. The largest transfer moved 14,235,163 $SHIB out of circulation. It was followed by burns of 1,942,910 $SHIB and others. The latest burn transaction carried 6,359,832 $SHIB to a dead wallet.
By now, the community has succeeded in burning 410,754,609,891,520 $SHIB since May 2021. The main credit for this goes to Vitalik Buterin, who received half of the initial quadrillion $SHIB supply from $SHIB founder Ryoshi. Buterin burned 90% of that “present” and donated the rest to charity.
The number of $SHIB holders keeps growing monthly
Earlier this week, the @Shibizens X account linked to the Shiba Inu developer team published a report about the recent increase in $SHIB wallets. This metric has recently surged to 1,558,200, with monthly increases varying between 8,500 and 12,000 wallets.
Among these wallets, the Top 10 hold 62.65% of the $SHIB supply, with the burn wallet holding the largest amount of meme coins, followed by top crypto exchanges: Binance, Bybit, Robinhood, etc.
Besides, the report says that the number of $SHIB held on exchanges has been shrinking and, by now, has dropped to 80.9 trillion meme coins. Large whales have been steadily withdrawing their $SHIB coins from various exchanges.
