Shiba Inu’s burn mechanism kills the total market supply, which now rests at 589.27 trillion coins. Notably, a whopping 410.72 trillion tokens have been burnt from the initial supply to date.

For context, as the supply takes a hit, Shiba Inu’s scarcity increases, staging as a bullish factor abiding by the law of supply and demand. The SHIB burning venture, in turn, has generated optimism for the meme coin’s future market dynamics.

Meanwhile, a recent buzz curated by Shiba Inu’s marketing lead Lucie on a potential SHIB ETF has garnered additional optimism toward the meme coin. CoinGape Media reported the executive to be highly bullish on a Shiba Inu exchange-traded product in the future. She also drew attention to the vital benefits of an ETF, further staging as bullish factors for the meme-based investment product.
