This has caused the overall Shiba Inu’s burn rate to exceed 1998.02% compared to the previous day.  The reasons behind the surge in burn rate are not as thrilling as one may think. The surge occurred because only 47,664 SHIB were moved out of circulation on April 27.

As of press time, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001029, up 0.44% over the last day with a 24-hour trading volume of $98,037,569 ($98.03M).
