Burn Rate Spikes As Community Incinerates Lion’s Share

According to Shibburn’s data, the Shiba Inu burn rate surged 660.22% today, February 2. Moreover, among the total SHIB incinerated over the past day, the Shiba community’s transfer to a dead wallet appears to be primarily responsible for the colossal upswing.

Aligning with this, the meme coin’s community transferred 111.66 million SHIB to a dead wallet, as per Shibburn’s data. Whereas, two wallet addresses appear to have additionally aided today’s burn upswing.

The address 0xc608… incinerated 2.1 million SHIB, while another address, 0xa9d…, burned 1.66 million SHIB today. Simultaneously, the burn rate surged phenomenally, garnering crypto traders’ and investors’ attention.

Intriguingly, the meme coin’s price also marked a prompt jump following the surge in burn rate. This primarily happens due to the reduction in the token’s total circulating supply, resulting in the coin’s scarcity when compared to the demand.
