Shibburn platform that tracks SHIB burn transactions and frequently destroys meme coins itself has recorded over 2.4 billion Shiba Inu locked in unspendable wallets since last Monday.
In the meantime, the Shiba Inu price has printed growth of over 14%.
Billions more SHIB removed

Last week, daily burns of SHIB reported by Shibburn, as covered by U.Today, sometimes reached over half a billion tokens.
On Friday, U.Today reported that business project @shib_superstore announced that its online shop that sells mobile phone games, Shib-branded merchandise and goods had been picked for an affiliated program of Amazon and would begin to regularly use part of their profits from that to buy and burn Shiba Inu.
First, this project burned SHIB every 15th day of each month, but now they have begun conducting burns more frequently—every Sunday.
SHIB rises 15%
Since May 29, the second biggest meme coin by market cap, Shiba Inu, has demonstrated a rise by over 14%; the price surged from $0.00001081 to $0.00001236.
The whole crypto market started going up, pulling small-cap coins, like Shiba, along. Bitcoin is up 5.66%, changing hands at $30,630, and Ethereum has risen 7%, trading in the $1,900 zone.
Cardano’s ADA is up more than 12%, hitting $0.521. Solana and Polkadot are both up nearly 11%.
Number of SHIB holders soars
Since the start of May, the amount of addresses holding Shiba Inu has increased by 32,000, now standing at 1,172,506.
SHIB has recently been integrated by several large U.S. and global companies as a payment method, which is spreading the adoption of the “Dogecoin killer.” DOGE has often been adopted along with SHIB, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other top cryptos via BitPay crypto payment processor.
The recent partnerships that have increased SHIB adoption include XcelTrip and NOWPayments together with Switchere, Jamestown, etc.
