The highly unusual case of Shiba Inuโ€™s (SHIB) burns dipping to micro numbers has struck the Shiba Inu community out of the blue. Counted daily, this metric has dwindled to just 323,100 tokens burned over the past 24 hours, Shibburn reports. None of the 5 transactions exceeded 200.3K of the meme tokens.

Whyโ€™s Shiba Inuโ€™s Bonfire Fizzling Out?

At less than $4, this paints a grotesque picture for Shiba Inuโ€™s (SHIB) deflationary tactics, even though the remaining supply is already significantly reduced. Presently with 584.555 trillion Shiba Inu coins in circulation, the meme coin usually responds instantly only to batches of billions of tokens burned at once.

Besides, 4.69T of all Shiba Inu token supply is staked, meaning that most SHIB Army members expect long-term growth. Thatโ€™s also well evidenced in the rising number of SHIB custodians with over a year of holding, according to IntoTheBlockโ€™s real-time stats. Notably, the Shiba Inu burning speed rate highly depends on the usage of Shibarium L2.

Metaverse Upgrade Boosts Shibarium

As the Japanese guard dog-embossed crypto currency rolls on in the current price roller-coaster, Shibarium devs dropped a crucial update on SHIB: The Metaverse. The long-awaited digital world got a revamp in gameplay, letting Web3 gamers use lower RAM while enjoying sharper lighting & more detailed metaverse environment.

Performance across key SHIB: Metaverse areas like the Technology Trench, Bark Park & SHIB Station has been improved with over 200 texture presets to optimize GPU memory usage & make Shiba Inuโ€™s Web3 heaven run on more devices, eventually launching Android & iOS versions. Upon the news, Shibariumโ€™s total value locked (TVL) jumped 13.07% to $3.66 million.

On The Flipside

  • The weekly perspective on Shiba Inu token burns is looking not as nearly as bad with 60M SHIB tokens blazed in 7 days.
  • However, thatโ€™s still a 3.54% drop from last week, hinting that SHIB Army is less inclined to burn tokens during rebounds.ย 

Why This Matters

People Also Ask:

Why did Shiba Inuโ€™s burn rate drop 95%?

The burn rate crashed to 323K tokens on Thursday, possibly due to market consolidation or holders choosing to HODL rather than burn, despite community efforts.

Whatโ€™s the Shiba Inu Metaverse update?

SHIB: The Metaverse introduced virtual real estate and burn mechanics, like renaming land to burn SHIB, aiming to boost community engagement and token scarcity.

How does the burn rate affect SHIBโ€™s price?

Burning reduces supply, which can pump prices if demand holds. The 95% dip may signal weaker deflationary pressure, but SHIBโ€™s price still rose 0.81% to $0.00001236.

Why isnโ€™t the metaverse update boosting burns?

Investors may be waiting for clearer market signals or holding tokens for future gains, reducing burn activity despite the red-hot metaverse hype.

Is SHIB a good investment now?

DYOR! The metaverse adds utility, but low burns and market volatility suggest caution. Analysts see bullish potential if support holds at $0.00001150โ€“$0.00001200.
