Implications of the recent burn
The surge in burn rates arises amidst increased selling pressure and lower prices.
Selling pressure rises because many tokens are in circulation that are ready for trade. At press time, SHIB prices were still declining; thus, higher burn rates failed to achieve their targeted goal, leaving whales with gains.
