A massive 15,566,450 SHIB transaction has recently caught the attention of the Shiba Inu community. The uniqueness of the transaction is the destination wallet, which points to burning.
According to Shibburn, 15,566,450 SHIB tokens were transferred to a dead wallet in a single transaction, removing them from circulation. This burn event is part of Shiba Inu’s ongoing deflationary strategy, which aims to reduce SHIB's total supply and potentially increase scarcity-driven value.
While the actual originator of this burn is unknown, such transactions are often carried out by community members or projects seeking to contribute to Shiba Inu's scarcity.
