Shiba Inu Token Surge Driven by Demand, Not Vitalik Buterin’s Burn
If you’re wondering why the value of Shiba Inu (SHIB) skyrocketed, Shibburn provides some insights. According to Shibburn, the surge in SHIB’s value was primarily fueled by demand, rather than the burn of 410.2 trillion SHIB tokens by Vitalik Buterin.
Shibburn emphasizes that while Buterin’s burn was significant, with the burnt tokens now worth $3.1 billion, it did not directly impact the token’s price. So, what really influenced the price rally? It seems that the surge in demand in May 2021 played a major role. Additionally, the fact that Buterin owned half of the token’s supply likely contributed to the rally.
SHIB’s Price Movement Before and After Buterin’s Burn
Before Buterin’s burn, SHIB had already experienced an astonishing surge of 29,151,160% from a low of $0.000000000119 on January 1, 2021, to a high of $0.00003469 on May 11, 2021. Buterin’s burn occurred during a correction phase in May, causing SHIB’s price to drop to $0.00000621 in June 2021.
However, SHIB made a strong comeback, rallying 1,324% and reaching an all-time high of $0.00008845 in October 2021. This comeback indicates that the asset’s rally mainly occurred before Buterin’s burn.
The Future of Shiba Inu Token
Despite its ups and downs, Shiba Inu has experienced an incredible surge of over 46 million percent since 2020. However, since May 6, 2021, it has only increased five times. This suggests that the majority of the asset’s rally happened prior to Buterin’s burn.
Looking ahead, the project continues to build momentum. One recent highlight is the launch of Shibarium, a layer-two network developed by the Shiba Inu team. To learn more about this exciting development, watch our latest video:
Hot Take
While Vitalik Buterin’s burn of SHIB tokens made headlines, it turns out that demand played a bigger role in the token’s value surge. This highlights the importance of understanding market dynamics and the influence of various factors on cryptocurrency prices. Investors should consider the overall demand and adoption of a token, as well as any significant events, when analyzing price movements. The Shiba Inu project continues to evolve, and it will be interesting to see how it develops in the future.
