The amount of tokens burnt during the period (Jan 9-10, 2024) exceeded the previous 24 hour record by a staggering 28,659%. This is the latest in the series of high value burns.

The burns were done by the following addresses. The largest address "0x665fcec42f94451c720adc5704aa787160fdad8e532e0f9ec5c7f163c150a571" appears probably of Shiba Inu's team.

Why Token Burns Matter?

Shiba Inu has more than 588 Trillion tokens in supply which keeps it price way low. To deflate or increase the price of Shiba Inu, the supply is to be reduced. Token burns reduce the active supply.

The entire concept follows the Law of Demand and Supply which in this context states that if demand is constant and supply is reduced, the price will increase.

Till date, the total number of tokens burnt are 410 Trillion and 707 Billion, out of which 410 Trillion tokens were burnt by Vitalik Buterin alone.

Though it is unlikely that token burns will produce any noticeable changes in the near future, but over a long term, they surely will contribute towards a reduced supply.
