On-chain data tracker WhaleStats shared that in the last 24 hours, the Shiba Inu meme coin has surpassed Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) to become the most traded digital asset for the top 100 Ethereum hotspots.
This coincided with the SHIB army significantly increasing the burn rate of their beloved dog tag.
SHIB burn rate jumps to 5761%
According to data released earlier today by tracking site Shibburn, the rate at which SHIB’s army is disposing of meme coins by locking them away in unused wallets has increased by a whopping 5,761% in the past 24 hours.
This time since last morning, various entities and willing individuals have removed 13,696,795 Shiba Inu tokens.
The goal of burning (i.e. moving coins to deadlocked wallets) is to reduce the amount of a coin in circulation to the point where its price will increase, as burning makes the cryptocurrency scarcer. Pushing the SHIB price to one dollar or at least one cent is the dream of the Shiba Inu community.

Currently, SHIB is also in the top 10 list of assets owned by ETH points, occupying the eighth position. It is also the 10th largest asset traded here.
For the first time in several months, Ethereum points have increased the amount of SHIB in their portfolio. They now have a total of $81,260,262 worth of this meme cryptocurrency. According to WhaleStats, this amount was four times smaller a week ago.
