Shiba Inu Community Executes Massive Burn Amid Market Decline, Withdraws 657 Million Tokens

In a recent report by U.Today, Shiba Inu, a dog-themed cryptocurrency, has experienced an astounding 64,201% increase in burn rate, with a total of 657 million SHIB permanently withdrawn from circulation.

The Shibburn X account shows that 657,148,384 SHIB tokens were burned in eight transactions within 24 hours. This totaled $13,878 in monetary terms.

A staggering 650 million SHIB were sent to dead addresses in a single massive burn, contributing significantly to the rise in total burned. The timing of this burn corresponds with a broader market decline, dubbed the "crypto bloodbath," in which numerous digital assets have suffered significant losses.

In this light, the large SHIB burn stands out as a daring countermove, showcasing the community's proactive approach to influencing the token's market dynamics.

The 657 million SHIB burned is a small part of the token's total quantity, initially a quadrillion. However, the increase in burn rate could be one of the highest seen in recent weeks.

Shiba Inu Faces Volatility and Scams as Market Struggles, Price Aims to Stabilize

According to a source, SHIB had dropped 5.84% in the previous 24 hours to $0.0000227, mirroring the overall crypto market meltdown.

According to on-chain data from IntoTheBlock, Shiba Inu is now trying to hold a 51 trillion SHIB range, which lies between $0.000022 and $0.000025, where 57,520 addresses control 51.27 trillion SHIB at an average price of $0.00023.

If this range is successfully reclaimed, resistance may be encountered in the $0.000025 to $0.000030 range; if it is lost, support may be expected in the $0.000019 to $0.000022 range.

A Shiba Inu-focused X account, "Shibarmy scam alerts," has issued a vital alert to the Shiba Inu community regarding numerous bogus organizations imitating authentic Telegram channels.

These fake groups may fool members by promising unique content, prizes, investment possibilities, and attempts to address transaction concerns.
