According to Shibburn's Twitter handle, in the past 24 hours, there have been a total of 580,638,304 SHIB tokens burned and 51 transactions made. This number had increased to 666,278,622 SHIB at press time, with the Shiba Inu burn rate rising by nearly 40%. Though not guaranteed, burning removes tokens from circulation, thus creating scarcity, which might ultimately impact the price.
Also, the SHIB burn portal, which was launched in late April, has achieved a major milestone of burning 50 billion SHIB tokens in less than a month of its operations. According to reports, over 50 billion SHIB left circulation via the burn portal through multiple transactions in the last four weeks.
