SHIB burn rate peaked behind this partnership
The launch of a crypto card proposed by the Shiba Inu raises the token burn rate. In the early hours of July 25, SHIB burn portal announced that it is working on a crypto card for payments.
Accordingly, the SHIB burn card will allow a small amount of SHIB to be burned each time a user uses the card for payments. SHIB burning provides an efficient method to support the token’s value. Because of this, the burning rate also increased by almost 200%. After the announcement, more than 174 million SHIBs were permanently sent to the dead wallet.
However, surprisingly, the increased token burn rate had almost no effect on the SHIB price. As quoted by Kriptokoin.com, on July 27, the price of SHIB fell by 16.19% from its price seven days ago. It is currently trading at $0.0000107.
