Shiba Inu is described as a community-based cryptocurrency project. The followers of this project are dubbed the “ShibArmy.”

Since its release, SHIB as a project has evolved and now has its own ShibaSwap, BONE BONE/USD, and LEASH LEASH/USD token and is working towards its own metaverse.

The token burn as a catalyst for growth

On April 13, 2022, we covered how SHIB made double-digit gains due to its Robinhood listing. We might see something similar with the token burn.

A mysterious wallet burned over 10 billion Shiba Inu (SHIB) throughout a single transaction on May 18, 2022, which accounted for $123,000 USD.

Furthermore, the rate at which Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens are being burned has jumped 800%, which marked a record of 12.8 billion tokens.

This occurred after the cryptocurrency’s burn portal started with the distribution of Ryoshi Token RYOSHI/USD rewards for those that burn tokens.

In other words, the team behind the project originally launched a burn portal on April 23, and from that point on, until the rewards started getting distributed, 29.5 billion SHIB tokens were initially burned.

However, after the rewards started getting distributed throughout this week, this figure jumped to 42.47 billion. This was tracked by Shibburn.

With this token burn, SHIB can grow in value.
