As part of its yearly round-up, the Shiba Inu burn tracking platform Shibburn reveals the staggering amount of Shiba Inu incinerated in 2024.
Shibburn shared the details in an X post on New Year’s Day. The burn tracking platform revealed that the combined effort of the Shiba Inu ecosystem team and the Shiba Inu community led to the burn of over two score billions of SHIB in the previous year.
Over 40B SHIB Incinerated in 2024
According to the report, the market witnessed the incineration of 44,623,604,014 (44.6 billion) SHIB last year, an impressive feat for the ecosystem.
The cumulative burned amount is worth $991,090 at the current market price, approximately running into a million-dollar valuation. Notably, this figure does not accurately dictate the valuation, as the ecosystem burned the over 44 billion SHIB at different prices.
Meanwhile, the latest disclosure came after Shibburn earlier stated that the Shiba Inu ecosystem burned over 2 billion SHIB in December. In a parallel tweet, the tracking platform disclosed that the community permanently destroyed 2,679,767,542 SHIB over 143 transactions in the last month of the year.
Shiba Inu Community Reacts
As expected, the burn statistics from Shibburn triggered reactions from the Shiba Inu community, which was largely unimpressed by the figure. Most comments trailing the report stressed that last year’s burn figure was not spectacular.
For instance, a user noted that the burns did not reach a million-dollar valuation. Another enthusiast stated that the ecosystem would not make progress in incinerating a considerable part of its 564 trillion-token supply at this rate.
Furthermore, comments like “not enough” dominated reactions, with one proponent calling for the ecosystem to double the figure this year. However, a few enthusiasts commended the burns. Specifically, one user argued that this was just the beginning.
Meanwhile, recall that Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama stated last year that burns would not solve the ecosystem’s problems. He stressed the place of mainstream adoption, noting that although it is possible to burn 99% of Shiba Inu’s supply, widespread utility is the ultimate solution.
Howbeit, Kusama has promised an epic 2025. The pseudonymous lead stated that the team would share “what we’ve built,” spiking the community’s curiosity.
