Shiba Inu burn portal is gaining traction with 12 billion tokens burned
Shiba Inu has been locked within a sideways trading range beneath the $0.000035 level since the start of 2022. While this may appear to be discouraging to investors, it might be a catalyst for a fresh price move. As Shiba Inu enthusiasts continue to view $0.001 as a possible price target, here are two things that might spark SHIB’s next price move.
Shiba Inu burn portal is gaining traction with 12 billion tokens burned
As covered by U.Today, the recently launched Shiba Inu burn portal is gaining immense traction.
As reported on the official SHIB Twitter handle, a whopping 8 billion tokens were burned barely 24 hours after its inception as SHIB owners burned their tokens en masse. As stated on the burnshibaswap website, scarcity (created by burning) can increase the price of the tokens, benefiting investors, yet it is not always guaranteed.
Shiba Inu also announced that any project can use the Shiba Burn Smart Contract in order to create a “BURN Pool” and to offer rewards for burning SHIB tokens, thus opening up users and projects associated with SHIB burns to benefit.
