Shiba Inu Burn Rate Skyrockets: Is a Zero Deletion Imminent?

Significant Increase in Shiba Inu Token Burn Rate

Shiba InuShiba Inu$0.000010 -2.05% (SHIB) has witnessed an astounding increase in its burn rate by over 7.6 million percent, leading to the incineration of more than 8.3 billion tokens within 24 hours. A single transaction is attributed to the eradication of the majority of these coins, effectively burning over 8.2 billion SHIB tokens.

Despite the significant token burn, SHIB has registered a modest surge of 12% on the weekly charts, and a 13.3% increase over the previous month. Notwithstanding these gains, the token has dipped by a slight 0.6% in the last day. The stimulation behind this burn's impact on the SHIB price remains uncertain, as it coincides with a market rally wherein BitcoinBitcoin$42,260 -0.64% (BTC) surpassed the $41,000 mark, giving a thrust to other cryptocurrencies as well. SHIB is inching closer to eliminating a zero from its price tag, an achievement initially attained in August this year.

Will SHIB Erase a Zero Soon?

The removal of a zero from SHIB's price requires a further rally of approximately 10%. The token has seen a somewhat stagnant phase through most of 2023, with a relatively minor gain of about 12.2% since January 2023. Comparatively, Bitcoin (BTC) has soared by over 150% and SolanaSolana$104 5.03% (SOL) by over 500% within the same period. Memecoins as a category have largely been sidelined in 2023. Despite the successful launch of a significant layer-2 network at the start of the year, SHIB's price did not rally.

Future Forecasts for SHIB's Price

As per PricePredictions, it is expected that SHIB's price will experience a drop over the next few days. The platform does not foresee SHIB erasing a zero this year, with a predicted fall to $0.00000898 by December 11, 2023, which is roughly a dip of 1.2% from its current price. CoinCodex shares a similar outlook, predicting that SHIB's price might hit $0.00000907 on December 11, 2023, signifying a dip of 0.2% from its current levels.
