SHIB Burn Rate Increases as 101 Million Tokens Removed from Circulation, Lead Developer Compares Shiba to Bitcoin

June 27 (Cointime) - The SHIB community is reducing the circulating supply of Shiba Inu meme tokens, with tens of millions of SHIB being locked out of circulation in the past few days. An anonymous whale burned 79.5 million SHIB in a single transaction, contributing to the burn rate reaching 161%.

Burn mechanisms are implemented to reduce the circulating supply of certain tokens and make them more scarce, thereby pushing the price upward in the long term. Shytoshi Kusama, the lead developer of SHIB, compared the project to Bitcoin and emphasized the importance of decentralization.

  • SHIB to change leadership and hand over project control to the community by year end

    Shytoshi Kusama and Kaal Dhairya, the anonymous chief developers of the Memecoin project Shiba Inu (SHIB), have given their first interview to the Arabic Business News. Kusama stated that he entered the cryptocurrency industry because of the influence of a super-rich passenger while driving for Uber, and then contacted Ryoshi, the anonymous creator of SHIB. Kusama aims to make SHIB the killer of Dogecoin and wants it to become "the world's first decentralized entity worth trillions of dollars". He pointed out that currently less than 5% of the world's population use cryptocurrency, and Meme will become the gateway to cryptocurrency and blockchain. Kusama and Dhairya have not given up their anonymous plan. In addition, they plan to transfer control of the project to the community by the end of this year, and by the end of the year, there will be a special committee to lead certain things. They both believe that it is not necessary to disclose their identities and said, "We can sit in this coffee shop, there are no security guards outside, and no one recognizes me. This is actually more valuable than any money."
