The Shiba Inu community recently observed a notable rise in its burn rate. It surged 24,271% within a single day. This increase reported by the tracking platform Shibburn, comes as the cryptocurrency’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, issued a statement about SHIB’s substantial growth since its all-time low four years ago.
Shibburn shared data showing that the asset’s daily burn rate surged 24,271% within 24 hours, destroying 5,674,617,337 SHIB tokens.
Earlier in the week, there was another uptick in SHIB burn activity, with a reported 305% increase that eliminated 39,593,693 SHIB tokens. However, the most substantial burn rate increase this week was recorded over the weekend, reaching a high of 65,529.67%. Despite this remarkable rate, the amount burned was relatively small, with only 2,652,095 SHIB removed from circulation.
Alongside the recent activity, Shytoshi Kusama addressed the token’s long-term growth in a recent statement on social media.
In response to a post highlighting Bitcoin’s status as the top-performing asset of the past decade, Kusama pointed out the asset’s exceptional growth trajectory since hitting its lowest price on September 1, 2020. According to Kusama, the token has surged by an extraordinary 33,774,726.7% since that date.
Kusama’s post also compared SHIB’s growth to other major cryptocurrencies. Dogecoin (DOGE), another popular meme-based cryptocurrency, rose by 202,583% over the same period, while Solana (SOL) increased by 35,715.8%, and Binance Coin (BNB) experienced an increase of 1,521,482.8%.
Kusama remarked that despite the asset’s impressive gains, the development team remains committed to further progress and aims to strengthen the ecosystem’s reputation within the broader crypto community.
Although the token has achieved extraordinary growth over the long term, its recent price movement has been more volatile. The token’s price decreased by nearly 0.64% in the past 24 hours, following a 5.05% surge earlier in the week. This recent activity shows the continued interest and the token’s susceptibility to short-term fluctuations.
In light of these developments, Kusama emphasized the need for ongoing work to solidify the ecosystem’s value and credibility. While recent burn rates demonstrate efforts to curb supply and potentially support price stability, market dynamics, and investor sentiment remain critical factors in the token’s future.
