SHIB transaction tracker Shibburn spreads the word about an intensive rise in the SHIB burn rate observed since last morning. In the meantime, the same source has announced a monstrous amount of SHIB destroyed over the past month.
The aforementioned 24-hour burns have coincided with a monstrous price increase staged by Shiba Inu since last morning.
Shibburn has reported that within the last 24 hours, the cumulative efforts of the SHIB community have made it possible to destroy 37,104,438 SHIB meme coins, pushing the burn rate 887.07% up.
The largest burn transaction here took place approximately nine hours ago, sending 21,540,898 SHIB to dead-end cryptocurrency wallets.

The other three substantial transfers carried 2,154,873 SHIB, 1,000,000 SHIB and 1,802,613 SHIB, the latter took place less than an hour ago.
On Friday, less than 4 million SHIB were sent to unspendable blockchain addresses, according to data provided by the Shibburn website.
