According to the recent data shared by the Shibburn team, within the past 24 hours, the SHIB army has transferred a massive amount of meme coins to “inferno” wallets, burning those SHIB without a chance of recovery.
In the meantime, the SHIB price has managed to recover after yesterday’s plunge and the mysterious SHIB lead Shytoshi Kusama has published a festive tweet.
SHIB burns jump to flabbergasting high
The above-mentioned data source has reported that since last morning, the loyal SHIB community, which includes both enthusiastic individuals and legal entities, has transferred 87,760,994 SHIB to unspendable blockchain wallets.
These burns have propelled the overall SHIB burn rate to a smashing 48,554.74% increase. There have been only two burn transactions so far, both are impressive as they carried 61,908,927 SHIB and then 25,852,066 SHIB meme coins to dead-end addresses. Both transfers took place 17 and 18 hours ago.
Earlier this week, the SHIB community also succeeded in raising the burn rate to a significant high. On April 9, the burn rate soared by 1,344%. Back then, however, a lot more meme coins got permanently erased from the circulating supply – 135,451,536 SHIB.
Shytoshi Kusama “working like a dog”
The pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu known as Shytoshi Kusama has taken to the X social media network to address the SHIB community after a long silence.
Kusama mentioned that he has been “pretty quietly working like a dog” and has almost forgotten to send season’s greetings to the vast SHIB community scattered around the globe. He has wished everyone a happy Easter in its multiple variations depending on the religion of those celebrating it – Passover, Eid, Gudi Padwa/Ugadi.
Woof! Come say hi in Dubai. While I’m at it, since I’ve been pretty quiet working like a dog, HAPPY HOLIDAYS (EASTER, PASSOVER, EID, & GUDI PADWA/UGADI)! https://t.co/IkngRphWxW

Besides, Kusama has invited SHIB users and builders on Shibarium to go to Dubai to attend the Blockchain Life Forum on April 16 and say hi to the SHIB reps there.
