The Shibburn tracker reported a major surge in SHIB coin burns over the past 24 hours. The community sent 61,468,595 SHIB tokens to “inferno” wallets, removing them from circulation. This effort pushed the burn rate up by an astonishing 5,154%. A single transaction of 48,266,929 SHIB, accounting for nearly 81% of the total burn, fueled this spike. The wallet responsible for this transfer remains unidentified, adding intrigue to the event.
Following this, two smaller burns occurred, involving 6,008,171 and 3,938,558 SHIB, respectively. Altogether, these transactions highlight the SHIB community’s ongoing commitment to reducing the token’s supply.

Despite the burn, SHIB’s price attempted a rally but failed to sustain momentum. Initially, the token climbed by 7.5%, hitting $0.00002652. This marked a peak in a 12% increase since Tuesday.
