The official marketing expert of the SHIB team, known to the community as Lucie, has noticed a gargantuan amount of Shiba Inu meme coins that has been burned in a single transfer about six hours ago. Lucie shared her bullish take on that burn transaction with the SHIB army.
This was the second one-billion-SHIB burn performed this week by an anonymous whale.
SHIB burns soar 57,069% – Lucie comments
One billion Shiba Inu was transferred to an inferno wallet from a wallet ending in -82e3. Overall, 1,006,913,405 SHIB has been moved out of the circulating supply over the past 24 hours with the 1,000,000,000 SHIB being the biggest burn transaction on that impressive list of seventeen burns.
There were also 2,500,000 and 2,118,557 SHIB chunks burned this time. The total SHIB burn rate has skyrocketed by a whopping 57,069% thanks to it.
Lucie reacted to the massive SHIB burn by sharing a screenshot from Etherscan which featured that transaction. The marketing lead pointed out that it was exactly the same burn wallet that destroyed 1,000,000,000 earlier this week, now making it 2,000,000,000 SHIB in total. Lucie explained that this whale caught her attention because the same address had burned 700 BONE and LEASH tokens after unstaking them from the ShibaSwap dex.
She tweeted: “There was another 1B SHIB burn. Totally same address burned 2B SHIB in a 3-day frame.”

On March 24, the X account of the CENT meme coin “took credit” for that mammoth one billion SHIB burn, saying that they wanted to burn even more SHIB. Now, it seems, they did it once again, to the joy of the SHIB team and the SHIB community. One billion SHIB costs $14,410 today.
