The move suggests that Shiba Inu is taking bold steps to control the circulating supply, which could help stabilize market prices. The ecosystem has relied on this mechanism to check price volatility. Hence, the move on Base highlights a commitment to maintaining a steady burn rate.
Interestingly, over the last 24 hours, more than 600 million SHIB tokens have been burned on "Creator Coin" activity, which SHIB launched on Zora. According to the design, the coin generates creator fees when users buy or sell, and these fees are used to burn SHIB.
Overall, the move is to increase the scarcity of Shiba Inu on the market and drive up the value of the meme coin.
As of press time, Shiba Inu was changing hands at $0.00001368, reflecting a 2.32% decline in the last 24 hours. However, investors are active as trading volume has surged by 62.96% to $238.54 million within the same time frame.
