• SHIB community incinerates more than 2 billion coins.
• SHIB holders are keenly awaiting the debut of Shibarium.
• Shiba Inu whales are gathering tokens in cold wallets, signaling their expectation of a possible rise in SHIB’s value.

The SHIB community has been quite active lately, resulting in notable advancements in the cryptocurrency sector. A recent post from the Shibburn account disclosed that over two billion Shiba Inu were effectively burned in the last month, with 410 transactions directing them to “inferno” wallets. This act of token elimination highlights the commitment of SHIB holders to decentralized finance (DeFi) and the future of meme coins.

The burns, which included a smaller segment of 50,381,586 SHIB in the past 24 hours, have been significant according to information from the Shibburn website. These burns were publicized alongside the “summer of Shibarium,” an ambitious initiative by the SHIB team, centered on the upcoming launch of the Layer 2 platform. The beta testing of the Shibarium Bridge has begun, suggesting promising advancements on the horizon.

Shiba Inu whales moving SHIB to cold storage

Another noteworthy development is the proactive acquisition of Shiba Inu coins by whales, who are securely storing them in cold wallets for long-term preservation. Data from Santiment indicates that a considerable 3.30 trillion Shiba Inu tokens have been moved from cryptocurrency exchange wallets to self-custody wallets over the past month. This accumulation reflects the expectation of a potential rise in SHIB’s value.

The highly awaited launch of Shibarium is set for mid-August, with speculations suggesting it may align with the annual Blockchain Futurist Conference. The conference has traditionally attracted key figures in the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors, and the inclusion of ETH Toronto and ETH Women enhances the anticipation for potential groundbreaking advancements.

Following the activation of Shibarium, market participants expect a rise in the prices of all Shibarium tokens, especially SHIB and BONE. BONE functions as the gas token for Shibarium, facilitating efficient transactions on the blockchain and aiding in token burns. Looking forward, the SHIB community envisions the potential for burning trillions of Shiba Inu tokens weekly, further reinforcing SHIB’s standing in the cryptocurrency landscape.
