Shiba Inu Burn Rate Spikes 161540%, Where’s SHIB Price Heading?

Shiba Inu (SHIB), the dog-themed meme crypto, has been surging lately after having experienced several challenges during the year. The Shiba Inu price managed to gain over 35.44% in the last month, registering impressive growth despite the various price fluctuations during the year. Meanwhile, the recent rally seems to be attributed to the massive burn rate of over 8.5 billion SHIB tokens in the last 24 hours.

According to data from Shibburn, a website that keeps track of SHIB burn insights, it is suggested that more than 17.22 billion SHIB have been burned in the last seven days.
