Data shared by the Shibburn tracker of burn transactions shows that since last morning, a substantial chunk of meme coins has been destroyed. Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu price continues rebounding after hitting a major high recently.

Close to 30 million SHIB burned to ashes

The aforementioned data source shows that within the last 24 hours, joined efforts of the SHIB army have helped to transfer a total of 28,709,351 SHIB meme coins to an unspendable blockchain address and out of the circulation supply for good. This has been achieved thanks to six transactions targeted at SHIB burn wallets. The largest two of them carried 21,657,489 and 6,824,773 SHIB.

Thus, another, albeit small, step toward Shiba Inu becoming a scarce asset has been taken.
