Shiba Inu (SHIB) crypto tokens witnessed an increase in the number of investors after about 509 million tokens were burned in the previous week.
According to data from Shibburn.com, a total of 508,825,823 SHIB crypto tokens were burned in about 15 transactions by various big investors.
Crypto coin burning is an exercise wherein the said cryptos are sent to a wallet address which cannot be recovered, and after the execution of the transfer, the address details are deleted. This effectively depletes the circulating supply of the burnt crypto in the open market.
A crypto may be burnt due to various reasons, but the most common reason is to make the said crypto’s supply scarce, and thereby, appreciate its price in the market.
According to data from Shibburn.com, SHIB crypto token burn rate for the past 24 hours stands at negative 17.33 per cent at 113 million SHIB tokens.

According to whatestats.com, on May 28, 2022, an anonymous user called “BlueWhale0073” bought 147 million Shiba Inu crypto tokens worth $15.62 million as per the current market price.
