Shiba Inu burn rate jumps 725% with 20.4 million SHIB sent to dead wallet

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a leading meme coin in the cryptocurrency market, experienced a temporary halt in its token burning activity before a rapid reversal on Saturday. According to data from Shibburn, the official burn tracker, no SHIB was destroyed over a 24-hour period until a sudden transaction reignited the process. Earlier on Saturday, Shibburn recorded zero SHIB tokens sent to burn addresses, signaling a brief pause in community efforts to reduce the circulating supply. This changed quickly when an unknown address labeled ‘0x8172’ executed a single burn transaction, sending 20,408,894 SHIB to the dead wallet. The sudden activity caused the overall daily SHIB burn rate to climb by 725%, ending the brief period of inactivity for the dog-themed digital asset.
