Shib Burn Rate Up By 39K%, >1.6B Tokens Burnt In 24Hrs

May 05,  2023

SHIB continues to stay on a burning spree with the recent surge of 38986.28% in the burn rate.

A total of 3,982,511,590 tokens have been burnt in the past week, out of which 1,695,572,371 were burnt in the past 24 hours.

This sudden surge is expected to create some impact on the token’s price, especially after a notable decline in the burn rate in the past few days.

Token burning refers to the process of permanently removing existing cryptocurrency from circulation.

When a token is burnt, it is sent to a burner address that doesn’t have a private key required to access it and can’t send back any tokens sent to it.

This removal of tokens directly impacts the supply and subsequently manipulates the demand and prices.

Out of the original supply of one quadrillion tokens, 589,362,770,864,408 are left in circulation due to the burning procedures.
