Crypto payments processor BitPay officially announced support for meme cryptocurrency Shiba Inu in late 2021, which allowed spending SHIB at hundreds of BitPay merchants where Shiba Inu is accepted. Aside from Shiba Inu, BitPay also supports other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Wrapped Bitcoin and the five other USD-pegged stablecoins (BUSD, DAI, GUSD, USDC and USDP).

216 million SHIB burned

According to the Shib Burn Twitter handle, in the last 24 hours, over 216,301,162 SHIB tokens have been burned and 15 transactions have been made. The Shiba Inu burn rate is also up 134%, per the Shibburn website.

Shiba Inu token burn is an initiative carried out by various entities within the SHIB community and aims to create scarcity by reducing the total supply. As previously reported by U.Today, over 70 million SHIB were burned by the Amazon-affiliated SHIB burner at the start of the week.

At the time of publication, Shiba Inu was changing hands at $0.00001, up 30% in the last 24 hours and 14.31% in the past week.
