A single burn event, even a large one, has a limited immediate impact on the price due to the massive circulating supply of shib.
Information is sourced from shibburn, a reliable shib burn tracker, and verified by the identified burner's own statements.
While burns are intended to reduce supply and theoretically increase price, the effect of this single burn is likely offset by broader market forces and shib's overall volatility.
The immediate impact is short-lived; sustained burns over time would be needed for a significant long-term effect.
