Shib Army Burns 150 Million SHIB in Last Few Days: Details

Shib army keeps locking SHIB tokens in dead wallets in hopes of pushing the coin’s price up, but it has failed to reach its goal so far. Meanwhile, another 150 million meme tokens have been burned as part of a long-term SHIB burning initiative.

SHIB holder count hits new milestone

As covered by U.Today earlier this week, the Shiba Inu community has reached a new historic milestone related to its holder count.

On July 20, the WhaleStats on-chain data service reported that the number of Shiba holders exceeded the 1,210,000 level.

On Friday, a whale whose wallet is called “BlueWhale0159” made an acquisition of a staggering 150,000,000,000 Shiba Inu, which was worth $1,750,500 at the time of the trade. The investor is still holding these tokens, unlike other whales who sold them or moved these coins to other wallets right after they had purchased them.
