Data from Shibburn, the burn tracker on Shiba Inu’s ecosystem, has shown a massive 779,000% spike in the number of SHIB tokens burnt in the past 24 hours. A new record for the most 24-hour burn may have just been set, as data shows more than 8 billion SHIB tokens recently made their way into inactive wallets.

SHIB burns have been an integral part of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, as investors believe burns are a catalyst for price spikes. SHIB tokens can be burnt by any investor. Once these tokens are burned, they are removed from circulation permanently, thereby decreasing the supply of SHIB.
Data from Shibburn shows that 8.62 billion SHIB were burned in the past 24 hours.
