While the burn rate surged by 380%, the absolute amount of 4.8 million shib is negligible compared to the coin's vast circulating supply, making its direct impact on price minimal.
News is from a reputable crypto news outlet, citing data from a known shib burn tracker (shibburn) and direct quotes from a shib executive.
The reported burn amount is too small to significantly impact shib's price directly. the recent 4% recovery is more likely tied to broader market sentiment and bitcoin's slight rebound, not this specific burn event.
The immediate price recovery is driven by short-term market dynamics. this small burn event, while part of a larger ongoing strategy, does not have significant long-term implications on its own.
