BabyDoge meme token was launched in the summer of 2021 after tech mogul and innovator Elon Musk posted a tweet that mentioned "Baby Doge." After that, the token community has been calling Musk the inspiration driver for BabyDoge.
In their burns, the BabyDoge army has outperformed prominent meme coin Shiba Inu. Over the past 24 hours, the SHIB army has managed to burn merely 102,145,155 worth $1,294.
BabyDoge devs have been burning massive amounts of their token since Dec. 1, when one billion meme tokens were removed from the circulating supply.
BabyDoge price jumps to yearly high
The price of the meme coin has shown positive market action on the news of the upcoming launch of the burn portal. This platform would allow the community to burn tokens, thus helping to push down the circulating supply.
The announcement on Twitter stated that the dev team will burn 5 BabyDoge for each token burned by the community via the new portal until April 1.
In the past 24 hours, the price of the meme token has jumped over 20%, hitting a level last seen in early January 2022 — $0.000000004066.
