The team behind Shiba Inu has launched a portal where SHIB holders can burn their tokens. In return, investors will receive burntSHIB, which accrues rewards in variable-rate RYOSHI tokens.

Coin burning reduces the supply of tokens and, all else equal, increases their value. The initiative aligns with the project community’s wishes, which had been pressing for a mechanism like this.
The portal was developed as part of a partnership between Shiba Inu and Ryoshis Vision (RYOSHI), a DeFi project in the Ethereum ecosystem focused on supporting SHIB’s growth.
Among burntSHIB holders 0.49% of all RYOSHI transactions will be distributed.
Within 24 hours of the portal’s launch, the SHIB supply declined by 8 billion tokens. According to the dedicated dashboard, in the partial day of April 25 this procedure affected 3.4 billion SHIB.
Woof!
In the first 24 hours over 8 BILLION $SHIB was burned through the SHIB Burn Portal!

According to CoinGecko, Shiba Inu’s price over the last 24 hours fell by 1.9%.
As a reminder, Vitalik Buterin became the largest SHIB holder after developers sent half of the token supply to his wallet. Subsequently, Ethereum co-founder burned 90% of that amount to avoid speculation.
Taking into account Buterin’s actions and the current initiative, from 1 quadrillion SHIB, 410.33 trillion tokens (41% of the issuance) have been removed from circulation.
Earlier, Binance conducted the nineteenth quarterly burn of BNB for $741.8 million.
