According to data shared by blockchain tracking platform Shibburn, since yesterday morning, the Shiba Inu community has managed to dispose of over 177 million SHIB meme coins. It happened while the second major meme-inspired cryptocurrency, SHIB, collapsed by 40% and then staged a substantial recovery earlier today.
Meanwhile, in the wake of recent SHIB price trajectories, whale activity has increased drastically as trillions of SHIB have been moved by large holders.

Shibburn spreads the word about a significant amount of meme coins transferred to unspendable blockchain wallets within the past 24 hours. Overall, an impressive 177,011,055 million <a href="https://u.today/shib-burns-see-887-surge-after-634-million-shib-destruction-in-february">SHIB were sent to the “virtual furnace.”</a>
More than half of this amount was destroyed in a single transaction when 100,500,000 SHIB was sent to a dead-end wallet. The second-largest transfer in this chain of burns contained 39,535,388 SHIB, with the third-biggest one carrying 10,000,000 SHIB. Those were three consecutive burns but conducted by three different wallets. These burn transactions have pushed the total daily burn rate of SHIB to 55.74% so far.

 In the past 24 hours, there have been a total of 174,339,753 <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24SHIB&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$SHIB</a> tokens burned and 14 transactions.

Two of them were initiated by Wintermute, a major algorithmic trading firm focused on cryptocurrency assets, to the Binance exchange - 167,809,919,988 SHIB worth $5,286,935 and 183,073,161,874 SHIB evaluated at $5,550,168.
