U.Today has prepared the top three news stories over the past day.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) burn rate jumps 30,940%, price set to soar
According to data provided by Shibburn portal, yesterday, Shiba Inu saw its burn rate spiking by an astonishing 30,940%. The growth in this metric occurred as a result of 2,254,093,318 SHIB tokens being sent to dead wallets overnight. Two addresses were responsible for moving almost the entire amount of SHIB, with the first one sending 2,005,265,274 SHIB tokens and the second 246,743,138. It remains unknown whether these addresses are linked to the Shiba Inu team. At the moment of writing, SHIB is changing hands at $0.00000991, down 2.88% over the past seven days. However, the current positive trend in the SHIB burn rate may help refuel the growth in the asset's price in the near term.
