According to the report from the Shibburn tracker, more than 30 million tokens have been burned recently on the network, following the recovery on the cryptocurrency and altcoin markets.

Tokens have been moved to a wallet that acts as a "burn address"; any funds moved to it will not be recovered and cannot be withdrawn later. Numerous cryptocurrencies use the same method of decreasing the circulating supply.

As for the performance of SHIB on the market, the token has successfully rebounded and gained almost 20% of its value, but it has not yet repeated the success of such altcoins as LUNA, which is trading at a 30% premium since yesterday.
