What’s New With Shiba Inu?
The popular memecoin was also in the spotlight by witnessing a few advancements and receiving support from another leading crypto exchange. Specifically, the Shiba Inu burn rate soared to 250% on October 16, outlining the project’s goal to make SHIB more scarce and potentially valuable in time
The team has so far destroyed over 41% of the maximum token supply (999,982,689,938,617 assets), with over 53 million SHIB sent to an address that nobody could access yesterday.
In addition, the Japanese cryptocurrency exchange – BitTrade –announcedits intentions to allow deposits and withdrawals in Shiba Inu and Dogecoin from October 18
Mass adoption and the successful ution of the burning rate have been labeled as key factors that could boost SHIB’s valuation in the future. However, the memecoin’s price performance has been relatively poor in recent weeks. It is down 3.5% on a 14-day basis and almost 4% for the last month.
