Shiba Inu (SHIB) Token Sees Notable Activity, Price Rises 8% as Burn Rate Spikes

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has experienced notable activity in the past 24 hours, with large transaction volumes totaling 5.72 trillion SHIB

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has shown remarkable activity over the past 24 hours, with large transaction volumes reaching 5.72 trillion SHIB, according to data from IntoTheBlock. However, this metric has experienced a sharp decrease of 70.55% compared to previous days.

Despite the drop in whale transactions, SHIB’s value rose 8% during the same period, reaching $0.000025. This increase in smaller transactions, below $100,000, reflects a growing demand from retail investors. Over the past week, Shiba Inu has retained 30% of its gains, underscoring the sustained interest from smaller investors in the token.

The shift in market dynamics suggests that retail participation is playing a growing role in driving the token’s price upward. This aligns with SHIB’s community-driven nature and the "Shiba Army" of retail investors who have been actively engaged in supporting the token throughout its journey.

Burn Rate Sees Substantial Growth

In addition to the price increases, Shiba Inu’s token burn rate has shown a notable spike. According to data from Shibburn, 14,750,296 SHIB tokens were permanently burned and removed from circulation over the past day, indicating a substantial increase of 114%.

This token burn activity contributes to reducing the overall token supply, a practice often used to create scarcity and potentially boost the asset’s value. The burned tokens are sent to a "dead" wallet address, ensuring their permanent removal from circulation.

Over the last week, a total of 616,094,437 SHIB tokens have been burned, marking a significant increase of 360.43%. These efforts to decrease the token supply, combined with the rising demand, could contribute to sustained price growth if demand continues to rise.

Ecosystem Enhancements Attract Market Interest  

Recent updates in the ecosystem have drawn attention from the community and investors. The announcement of GetBlock as the official Remote Procedure Call (RPC) provider for Shiba Inu aims to strengthen the Shibarium infrastructure.

This collaboration is expected to deliver faster and more reliable network performance, enhancing the user experience for the Shiba Inu community. Notably, GetBlock also provides crucial support for the Shibarium Testnet.

Furthermore, the launch of the Shibarium Token Asset Repository provides token owners on Ethereum Sepolia and Shibarium Puppynet the tools to add metadata and images to their tokens, increasing their visibility.

This update enables token owners to upload an image and add a description, name, and external URL to their tokens on a first-come, first-served basis, enhancing the discoverability of their tokens within the Shibarium ecosystem.

Although the asset has seen significant gains recently, it is unclear whether this upward trend will continue. The reduced whale transactions, growing retail involvement, and ecosystem advancements will likely play a critical role in shaping the token’s price direction.
