Shiba Inu's weekly burn rate has seen a gigantic increase as billions of SHIB are sent to the fiery furnace to be burned.
In the last seven days, there have been a total of 8,531,983,464 SHIB tokens burned in 58 transactions. This amounted to $85,319, causing the weekly burn rate to skyrocket to 1,517.48%.
The week before saw over half a billion SHIB burned. The increase to about 8.5 billion SHIB implies a 17-fold increase, which was mostly attributed to a big burn by Shiba Inu developers in the week that just concluded.

The daily SHIB burn rate is also seeing a 543.5% spike, with a total of 148,026,556 SHIB tokens amounting to $1,514 burned in 34 transactions in the last 24 hours.
