Three companies plan to burn SHIB
As reported by U.Today earlier, three businesses now plan to join the SHIB burning trend via NOWPayments. The aforementioned platform is currently testing a burning portal for SHIB and Doge Killer (LEASH). Italian burger chain Welly's, John Richmond fashion brand and Sorbillo's pizza chain are going to burn part of their SHIB profits via NOWPayments.
The goal of sending these meme tokens to unspendable addresses is to try to make this canine coin more scarce and, thus, push the price up significantly.
At press time, the 15th largest cryptocurrency, Shiba Inu, is showing an almost 7% rise over the past 24 hours and is exchanging hands at $0.00002634.
