SHIB token burning rates are seen to increase on the Shiba Inu network. The number of Shiba Inu burn trackers today is quite impressive. However, the data show that it is due to the degenerative performance of the SHIB combustion engine.
On-chain data shows that the SHIB burn rate increased by 1682.07% in the past 24 hours. This is the highest percentage increase in burn rates in the SHIB network over the past few months.
Why SHIB Burn Rate Increase?
In detail, the number of tokens burned in the Shiba Inu network did not exceed 1 million SHIB on January 26. Yesterday’s amount was one of the lowest amount of assets developers have burned on the network. So, the spike in burn rates may be due to the default SHIB’S nose machine yesterday.
According to analysts, this percentage increase was not triggered by increased network activity. Also, it does not represent a large number of true burnt tokens.
Token burns help reduce the number of coins in circulation. This helps to increase the scarcity of the asset and may boost the price of the token when the increased supply pushes it down.
For example, on January 17, SHIB token burning surged by 613% in 24 hours, and the coin broke the expectations of bearish traders, rising above 20% on the day. However, the price increase did not accompany the increase in token burn rates.
Also, some SHIB whale activity shows that top investors have lost faith in the meme coin as many whales continue to move pieces of their Shiba Inu positions on the exchange.

This may mean that short-term traders do not believe that the asset cannot rise above the resistance level, helping them to make a profit.
New SHIB Whales Emerge – What’s Next?
When some whales sell tokens, new addresses buy the dip, accumulate a lot of SHIB tokens, and maybe wait for the next bull market. The data shows if the new crypto wallet becomes the Shiba Inu whale address on Thursday, January 26, 2022.
The new wallet became the pope’s address after receiving 3.3 billion SHIB worth about $38.9 million. Etherscan reveals that the sending address transfers funds from a different wallet before transferring the token to the recipient, now the latest SHIB whale. This move further confirms the suspicion that small investors are giving up their positions.
According to blockchain whale tracker, Beware the Pope, the wallet also received 1 billion PAW tokens minutes after sweeping SHIB tokens. With the current balance, the new whale is now the 30th in the worldTh– which has the largest SHIB.
This new accumulation comes after the world 26Th– the largest SHIB holder swept 150 billion token to the wallet. The token sweep occurred through four clusters of transactions within three hours on January 23.
So, while short-term investors may sell positions due to falling SHIB prices, some may accumulate in anticipation of future gains from Shibarium’s upcoming launch.
Shiba Inu now can be sold for 0.00001188 US Dollar with a 24-hour increase of 1.28% and a 7-day price increase of 0.2%. In addition, the meme coin has seen a 14-day price increase of 22.1% and a 30-day rally of 41.4%.
