- Shiba Inu burned 12 million coins within 24 hours, increasing its burn rate by 451% and boosting new accounts from 20 to 45.
- While short-term volatility is expected, the long-term outlook remains bullish due to ongoing developments and innovations within the ecosystem.
In a surprising turn of events, Shiba Inu, often dubbed the “Dogecoin Killer,” has removed 12 million coins from its ecosystem within just 24 hours. According to data from Shibburn, the burn rate for Shiba Inu spiked by an impressive 451.06%. This significant increase in burn rate was achieved through three major transactions. Approximately nine hours ago, one transaction accounted for the burning of 2.6 million coins. Around 19 hours ago, two other transactions burned 7.3 million and 2.01 million coins respectively.
This aggressive burn comes as Shiba Inu continues to develop and integrate new features within its ecosystem. One notable development is the integrated manufacturer and R&D center with a 40-year history that is developing AI-capable laser technology. This innovation highlights the community’s commitment to growth and advancement.
Shiba Inu’s Technical Analysis: Bullish Yet Volatile
While the long-term outlook for Shiba Inu appears bullish, the near-term forecast suggests potential volatility. According to Benzinga’s technical analysis, Shiba Inu’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) as of September 5 stands at 44.4. This level is considered a bearish indicator, implying that the average loss outweighs the average gain, leading traders to consider selling opportunities.
Additionally, the Simple Moving Average (SMA) chart reveals that the 50-day SMA has fallen below both the 100-day and 200-day SMA levels. This crossover indicates short-term volatility. However, the 200-day SMA’s position above the shorter-term SMAs signifies a strong long-term outlook.
Shibarium: Driving Growth with Low Transaction Costs
Lucie, the marketing lead for Shiba Inu, emphasized the importance of Bone for Shibarium in a recent tweet. Bone plays a crucial role in Shibarium’s operations and advancements. Highlighting Shibarium’s strength in maintaining low transaction costs, Lucie noted that with just 800 Bone in sponsored gas fees, around 140,000 NFTs were minted. This efficiency underscores Shibarium’s potential to drive future growth within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Lucie also announced the launch of ShibDev earlier this week. ShibDev offers a comprehensive range of tools, including API management, node access, and on-chain data, making it an ideal platform for developers at any level.
Market Reactions and Future Prospects
Despite these advancements, Shiba Inu has faced some challenges. Data from IntoTheBlock shows a 58.8% drop in large transaction volume over the past 24 hours, with transactions exceeding $100,000 decreasing by more than half. Currently, 53% of Shiba Inu holders are experiencing losses greater than their profits.
Shibariumscan data, however, indicates positive momentum with new accounts increasing from 20 on September 4 to 45 on September 5. This surge in new accounts reflects growing interest and participation in the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
While Shiba Inu’s near-term outlook appears volatile, its long-term prospects remain promising. The aggressive burn strategy, coupled with new developments like Shibarium and ShibDev, positions Shiba Inu for potential future success. As the community continues to innovate and expand, Shiba Inu may well live up to its moniker as the “Dogecoin Killer.”
