Crypto tracking service focused on Shiba Inu, Shibburn, has announced that during the period of the last seven days, a massive chunk of SHIB has been moved to "inferno" addresses — close to 2 billion SHIB.
Nearly all of it was burned in a single transfer by a mysterious wallet, according to the recently shared data. Still, after the most recent burns, the burn rate has sunk into the red zone.
SHIB army destroys 1.8 billion SHIB, but one burn clearly stands out
According to a recent report by Shibburn, in the past 24 hours, the Shib army succeeded in getting rid of 30,026,184 SHIB tokens. This was a lot less than the Sunday burns, so the burn rate of Shiba Inu fell by slightly over 87%.
