What growing burn rate means

The biggest contribution to this burn rate comes from a wallet with the address "0xa9dâŠ3e43." This community member burnt a total of 277 million SHIB.
The community remains committed to reducing this circulating supply so the price might gain appreciable value. The burn rate is typically pitched alongside price rallies, and for now, every Shiba Inu performance metric is in a positive range overall.

While the "Uptober" rally has yet to form in the SHIB ecosystem fully, the price appears on track to retest new highs. Despite the recent failure to push toward the $0.00002 target, the positive burn rate might help it achieve this milestone if sustained.
