SHIB now accepted by NowPayments for burning

On Dec. 30, Amsterdam-based noncustodial crypto payments processing company NowPayments announced on its Twitter handle that it adds a feature that will enable merchants to annihilate the second-most popular canine crypto, SHIB.

They will be burning 3% of their profits in SHIB. By "burning," the crypto community means sending coins to a special address, ensuring that no one will be able to withdraw it from their wallets or ever spend those coins, thus taking them out of circulation forever.

A substantial diminishing of the circulating supply is usually one of the factors that helps push the coin's price up due to the growing scarcity of the asset. According to recent data from CoinGecko, the initial 1 quadrillion supply of SHIB has by now shrunk to 549 trillion tokens.

Half of this quadrillion was presented to Vitalik Buterin earlier this year by the SHIB founder. Buterin burned 90% of this "gift," sending the rest to a charity in India to help fight the aftermath of the pandemic that has been shaking the world for the past two years.
