The recent surge in the Shiba Inu token burn has impacted the SHIB market again. Within 24 hours, over 341 million SHIB tokens wereĀ destroyed, sending the burn rate skyrocketing by roughly 6,936%. This development has bolstered the price of the popular meme coin as it continues an upward trajectory.
TheĀ Shiba InuĀ community, affectionately known as the SHIB Army, has since been consistent in its token-burning efforts, a move that has significantly influenced the SHIB market dynamics. The burning process, which involves sending tokens to an unusable address, effectively takes them out of circulation, reducing supply and increasing scarcity.
A Record Token
#Burn Among the transactions contributing to this burn rate, address ā0xcf6ā took the lead, accounting for nearly 252.8 million SHIB tokens dispatched to a dead wallet, as perĀ dataĀ from etherscan.io. The acceleration of the token burn represents a community effort, with 341 million SHIB tokens destroyed in a mere five transactions within a single day.
This amount nearly equals 377 million SHIB tokensĀ burnedĀ the previous week. Given supply and demand dynamics, this significant reduction in circulating SHIB tokens contributes to a higher token value in the long run.
Notably, the impact was swiftly observed in the price of Shiba Inu, whichĀ recorded a gainĀ of 5.6% in the past 24 hours and nearly 20% over the past seven days.
TheĀ burn surgeĀ and its subsequent positive impact on the Shiba Inu price highlight the communityās power and commitment to their chosen crypto. While some criticsĀ dismiss meme coins like SHIBĀ as lacking intrinsic value, the SHIB Armyās dedication and market dynamics seem to drive the price upward.

The SHIB token price has increased in the past few days, with the meme coin breaking multiple resistance levels. SHIB is trading atĀ $0.00000791, up 19.6% over the past week. The token currently has a market capitalization of $4.6 billion, making it theĀ 16th largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
SHIBās daily trading volume has also significantly moved in the past 7 days. Shiba Inu volume has surged from as low as $98 million last Thursday to as high as $300 million in the past 24 hours.
The uptrend in theĀ

It is worth noting that theĀ recent burn surge again sheds light on an essential aspect of tokenomics, the study of the economic systems related to cryptocurrency tokens. With less SHIB available, the tokenās scarcity increases, theoretically increasing the tokenās value over time.
