Shiba Inu saw its burn rate explode by about five figures when the new year began, also seeing a sharp increase in its price and trading activity.

It is important to note that the regular SHIB burn activity is primarily targeted at reducing the asset’s circulating supply to boost scarcity and fuel a potential surge in its price.
