Dog Cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB) is now five years old. Shiba Inu was released on August 1, 2020 and had an initial supply of 1 Quadrillion Token.
Since its inception, the Shiba Inu Burn strategy aims to reduce the large supply of tokens and increase long-term value. According to Shibburn, a total of 410,752,071,267,334 SHIBs have been burned from the initial supply of SHIBA INU, accounting for more than 41%.
What contributes to this huge figure is the massive burns that Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum.
In May 2021, Vitalik Buterin surprised the crypto community by burning 410 trillion shibs and donating 50 trillion shibs (worth $1.2 billion at the time) with one of the biggest charity laws in the history of the code. Butarin was surprisingly talented for half the supply of Sheeva dogs, burning 90% of that, totaling $6.7 billion at the time.
Shiba Inu’s deflation trend continues: 1,102,997 shivs have been burned in the last 24 hours, with 629,718,781 shivs burning over the past 7 days.
