Another substantial amount of SHIB meme tokens have been pushed out of circulation, while SHIB has started to recover after its recent losses
Per data made public recently, another massive sum of Shiba Inu canine crypto has been sent to “inferno” wallets and, thus, taken out of circulation. Almost all of this amount of SHIB was burned in merely one transaction.
Shiba Inu burns (as is the case with other cryptocurrencies) are being made in an attempt to reduce the circulating supply of the token and push the price toward higher highs.
In the meantime, the second-biggest meme coin by market cap after DOGE has demonstrated a 12% rise in the past 24 hours, losing some of it later on.
