Among the digital currencies around today, Shiba Inu can be regarded as the one with the most definitive burn mechanism. Since its inception, core developers have been committed to fostering transactions that will compound the total tokens sent to the dead wallet as a means of drastically reducing the overall supply over time.
Oftentimes, the burn rate has been connected with bullish price jumps, and the consistency in the burning can be a game-changer in predicting the short-term price outlook for the meme coin. With Shibarium recording massive transactions that has the tendency of contributing to the burn rate, the future of the entire protocol and its projected price gain is bright.
