Shibburn wallet tracker shows that one of SHIB’s key metrics, token burn rate, has plunged deep into the red zone.
Shiba Inu burns face massive plunge
According to the data shown by the Shibburn website, the burn rate of the second largest meme cryptocurrency is almost 100% below the zero mark with only 261,691 SHIB meme coins burned.
That was the only burn transfer over the past day so far. On the previous day, this tracker spotted a total of 7 million SHIB in daily burns.
As for the weekly reading of this metric, it is 843% up with 114,255,785 SHIB tokens transferred to unspendable blockchain wallets during the last seven days.
While the SHIB burn rate sits deep in red, the state of things on the layer-2 blockchain Shibarium have been somewhat slowing down as well. Meanwhile, after the recent upgrade was implemented on it, SHIB burns directly correlate with transaction activity on this SHIB’s internal ledger.
Shibarium transaction activity flattens
Over the past week, the daily transaction count on Shibarium has been going low after dropping by more than 88% from 28,680 on August 20 to 3,370 on August 23. Since then, this metric has been moving in roughly the same range, according to the Shibariumscan explorer.
On August 26, the daily transaction count saw a marginal increase to 4,020. As for the total transaction count, it amounts to 418,121,365 with the number of wallets connected to Shibarium standing at 1,813,006.
Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is losing price momentum as well, having dropped by 10.5% during the last three days. After rising by 23.32% last week to a high of $0.00001610 on Saturday, the second largest canine-themed cryptocurrency plummeted to the current level of $0.00001441.
