According to a report by a SHIB burn tracker, more than 22 billion canine tokens have been taken out of circulation over the past week. Besides, more than half a billion Shiba were burned within the last 24 hours.

Shibburn also spread the word on Twitter that over the last 24 hours, more than 667.2 million Shiba Inu tokens have been burned by various businesses and individuals from the SHIB army. The burn rate has increased by nearly 41% compared to the previous one.

SHIB adds 20,000 holders
Despite showing an over 86% drop below the all-time high of $0.00008 reached in October last year, the second most popular meme coin has added a large amount of holders since May this year.
Back in April, its number of holders comprised 1,139,000, whereas now it totals 1,167,079.
New global adoptions of SHIB
More and more businesses have started accepting Shiba Inu along with other cryptocurrencies recently. Among them, as covered by U.Today last week, is the producer of elite Swiss watches Tag Heuer.
Aside from that, SHIB will be accepted by thousands of restaurants in more than 60 countries globally thanks to a partnership between Lavu and Verifone, two payment solutions providers, the former working particularly with restaurants.
