Shiba Inu Exec Reacts as 1B SHIB Vanishes in Latest Burn

Highlights:

• Shiba Inu’s marketing officer has reacted to SHIB’s spiking burn rate.
• The memecoin ecosystem burned one billion tokens twice in three days.
• Lucie revealed that the same address was responsible for the massive two billion token burns.

Shibburn, the Shiba Inu (SHIB) official burns statistics website, has revealed that one billion SHIB tokens were removed from Shiba Inu’s circulating supply. The token burns occurred via a single transfer 13 hours ago, sparking excitement among SHIB enthusiasts.

Lucie, the Shiba Inu ecosystem official marketer, reacted to the massive token elimination via a tweet. She expressed excitement about the soaring SHIB burn rate. She also revealed that the same address that triggered the one billion tokens burn had eliminated the same number of SHIB three days ago.

Lucie stated:

“There was another 1B SHIB burn. Totally same address burned 2B SHIB in a 3-day frame.”

Lucie added that the same address burned 700 BONE and LEASH previously unstaked from ShibaSwap. Renowned for its massive circulating supply of 589 trillion tokens, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has constantly sought means to cut its supply. Despite ongoing efforts, SHIB’s circulating supply remains a major concern, hampering the token’s price performance.
