It is difficult to deny the fact that meme coins, including Shiba Inu, have gained significant prominence. The cryptocurrency realm has welcomed SHIB with open arms. The Shiba Inu community has been working on several developments and projects for the community.
One of the notable developments in the SHIB community is the burn initiative. The burn initiative is a notable effort from the developers to reduce the coins in the circulating supply. This in turn is believed to create scarcity and induce a price spike in the long term. However, the burn rate has been quite fluctuating over time. On certain days, the burn rate spikes, whereas on other days, the burn rate drops.
