shiba inu (SHIB) has long been a part of our lives as a cryptocurrency token that has gained popularity in recent years, in part due to its use of the Shiba Inu dog as its mascot. One of the unique features of SHIB to Ethereum is the burning mechanism, which involves burning or removing some of the SHIB tokens from circulation. The SHIB burning mechanism works quite simply. A certain percentage of circulating SHIB tokens are periodically burned, reducing it from the total SHIB supply. This burn is aimed at increasing the value of the remaining tokens by reducing the overall supply.
The reason why SHIB was burned is mainly driven by its community. SHIBhas a large and passionate community dedicated to the success of the token. The community aims to create scarcity by burning some of the tokens, which will increase the demand and therefore the value of the remaining tokens.
Most recently, according to data provided by Shibburn, the crypto tracker of Shiba Inu’s “burning transfers”, over the past 24 hours the SHIB army has made significant progress in cutting the circulating supply of SHIB. Since last morning, 925,257,980 Shib Inu (SHIB) have been saved and sent all of this token to “burn” addresses where not a single token can be withdrawn or spent.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) burn rate is increasing rapidly
The consequences of burning the SHIB can be both positive and negative. On the positive side, the burn could lead to increased demand and value for the remaining tokens. This can benefit SHIB token holders and encourage new investors to enter the market. However, burning can also lead to loss of liquidity, making it difficult to trade SHIB tokens. Also, if too many tokens are burned too quickly, it can lead to a significant reduction in the overall supply, with undesirable consequences for the stability of the token.
However, this burning rate has increased by 8.902 percent.
