Shibarium team teases large SHIB burns coming

The aforementioned SHIB team member Lucie has tweeted that by now the SHIB team has set aside a massive 40 ETH from transaction fees for making SHIB burns. This is the equivalent of slightly more than $3,390 and is worth a whopping 4,690,279,616 Shiba Inu meme coins.

The team started SHIB burns at the end of November and burned chunks that contained billions of SHIB since then and until February. Thus they destroyed approximately 36 billion Shiba Inu by transferring them to unspendable wallets.

In January, the SHIB team started testing an automated mode for burning Shiba Inu. Lucie did not name any particular date when the burn will take place but she just recommended the SHIB army to watch out for further announcements.

🔥 $SHIB burns incoming!

40 ETH collected for the burn. Stay tuned! 👀

Earlier this week, Lucie addressed the SHIB community on their frequent comments about the SHIB team allegedly doing nothing to increase burns.

In response to those, Lucie cited a message of the mysterious SHIB founder Ryoshi who disappeared from all the social media radars in 2022. Ryoshi advised those who is not happy with slow burns to start burning SHIB themselves.

So far, according to Shibburn, within the last 24 hours, the SHIB community has transferred a total of 48,209,535 SHIB meme coins out of the circulating supply with 42,466,919 SHIB being the largest chunk burned so far.
