What of the SHIB Price?

The advancement of the network is one factor that could positively impact the price of Shiba Inu. Another element is the SHIB burn rate, which skyrocketed by a staggering 50,000% on April 11.

The amount of tokens removed from circulation last month was more than 15.5 billion, a 2,300% increase compared to the figure in February.

Numerous analysts, including the X users Rekt Capital and JAKE, have recently predicted that the meme coin is on the verge of a bull run. 

The former envisioned a triple-digit increase should the token overcome an important resistance zone, while the latter thinks “fading” SHIB “is a major mistake.”
