There has been a 65,529% spike in Shiba Inu’s burn rates in the last 24 hours.
This burn saw 2.6 million SHIB tokens permanently destroyed.
Metrics on Shibarium have also been skyrocketing so far, with transaction and address data rallying.
All of the above show increasing interest and health in Shiba Inu with a possible 30% - 40% spike towards $0.00002413 incoming.
The Shiba Inu community is burning tokens at an alarming rate to reduce the memecoin's massive circulating supply and increase its value over time.
According to the Shiba Inu burn tracker, the memecoin’s burn rate skyrocketed by an astonishing 65,529% in the last 24 hours.
Let’s see all the exciting growth metrics on Shiba Inu and its ecosystem so far.
As mentioned, this 65,529% spike in Shiba Inu’s burn rate destroyed over 2.6 million SHIb tokens.
This high volume of burns was achieved via six transactions, with the largest of these (0x2e24…) burning nearly 1.52 million SHIB.
Interestingly, this same wallet burned the same amount of SHIB tokens in the 24 hours prior.
The spike in SHIB burn rates
The smallest burn among these destroyed only about 2,000 SHIB—which shows the community’s commitment to reducing the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply, regardless of transaction size.
Since its launch in 2022, the Shiba Inu community has burned 410.7 trillion SHIB tokens—nearly half of its initial one quadrillion supply.
However, SHIB's price has failed to react to this massive token burn, with CoinMarketCap data showing that the memecoin has only moved by less than 1% in the 24 hours since writing.
Shiba Inu’s price action
Shiba Inu’s burns haven’t been the only things spiking lately.
Shibarium, the ecosystem's layer-2 blockchain, is experiencing unprecedented growth in network activity and user accounts.
Lucie, the ecosystem’s marketing lead mentioned in a recent tweet that Shibarium recently recorded a major jump in daily transactions.
This metric reached a high of 4.77 million transactions on 24 October compared to the 1.7 million transactions it registered only two days earlier.
It also means that the network saw a staggering 180% increase over a very short timeframe.
This shows massive growth and a strong uptick in network activity.
Shibarium's total transaction count has now reached an impressive 427 million, and the number of Shibarium accounts has seen a similar upward trend.
User accounts grew from 127.6 thousand on 21 October to an impressive 171 thousand by 25 October, a 34% increase.
The number of accounts has also been on a steady increase over time, as well as the number of transactions and transaction success rates.
Shibarium Stats
DefiLlama data also shows that the network’s Total Value Locked has been on the rise, especially with the massive spike from $1.23 million to $3.96 million in late September.
Shibarium now has a steady TVL of $3.5 million and is the top memecoin-related defi protocol in terms of this metric.
Lucie expressed excitement about these feats and noted that Shibarium’s growth could lead to more significant advancements in the ecosystem.
Despite this growth in SHIB burns and Shibarium's achievements, SHIB's price has been faced with a bearish sentiment:
Especially on 23 October, as the general market declined.
According to Santiment, SHIB was among the top 10 cryptocurrencies that experienced bearish sentiment that day.
However, the analytics firm also noted that this negative outlook might come before a massive rally, as markets often move in the opposite direction to sentiment.
“Markets typically move in the opposite direction of the crowd’s expectation,” Santiment noted.
SHIB could see some upward momentum if investors start to adopt a contrarian stance and buy into the current selloff.
The SHIB community remains optimistic about the long-term strength of both of these memecoin monoliths.
According to the charts, Shiba Inu has finalized its break out of the falling wedge pictured.
Shiba Inu’s break out of the wedge
The memecoin is attempting to finalize a break above the $0.00001828 price level and possibly continue upwards toward $0.00002413 with a 30% - 40% price increase.
With a massive portion of SHIB’s total supply already burned and Shibarium seeing new milestones in transaction volume and user adoption, the future looks promising.
The ongoing expansion of the entire ecosystem and the community’s constant token burns reinforce SHIB’s position.
In conclusion, Shibarium’s success in attracting millions of transactions and new users shows the network’s appeal to mainstream users.
It also shows the network’s ability to scale compared to other projects in the blockchain industry.
As Shiba Inu continues to push the boundaries, the community watches to see how these developments will affect the ecosystem as a whole.
