Most of the volume came from a single transaction that sent 263.7 million tokens to an inaccessible address. The burn was carried out by a whale whose identity remains unknown.Two other transactions also helped reduce the circulating supply. One transferred 15.3 million tokens, while the other removed around 14 million. However, despite the overall impact, daily burn activity dropped sharply in the last 24 hours. Only 113,500 SHIB were eliminated during that period, representing a nearly 100% decline compared to the previous average.Always Verify the Legitimacy of AnnouncementsThe team issued a warning on X, directed at its community members.

To do so, they recommended using only recognized channels and official website. They also reminded users that the only valid sources for updates or new launches are the development team’s official accounts and their social media posts.Shiba Slightly DownThe volume of burned tokens and the repeated scam attempts reflect the level of activity within the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
