Athur Hayes Predicts Bonk Flipping Shiba Inu; Shibarium Burns Another 8 Bln SHIB
The Shiba Inu team successfully completed another Shibarium-powered burn of more than 8 billion. The move comes as lead developer Shytoshi Kusama confirmed last week that only SHIB tokens will be burned from the BONE accumulation for SHIB burn on Shibarium. The community expected a burn valued at least $1 million.
Arthur Hayes Sees Bonk Topping Shiba Inu
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes in a post on X predicted that Bonk (BONK) meme coin will flip Shiba Inu (SHIB) to become the 2nd largest dog-themed meme coin.
It follows after Bonk was listed on Coinbase, Binance, Crypto.com and other top crypto exchanges last week. Bonk price rallied over 1000% in a month. However, the price has now dropped from ATH of $0.0000341 to $0.0000201 amid profit booking. Also, the Saga Mobile phones sold out amid massive demand due to Bonk airdrop.
