‘Dogecoin Killer' Shiba Inu SHIB/USD saw its burn rate and new accounts spike, as the community revealed positive news.
What Happened: Shibburn data shows the burn rate skyrocketing 84,642.4% in the past 24 hours. In only six hours, more than 10 million SHIB coins were burned.
Lucie, the marketing lead of Shiba Inu, wrote on her social media profile, "We're in the building stage, as Shytoshi always says, "the moat has been built to protect the castle, now we build. We've entered step 1, stage 1, and there's so much more to come."
The post compared the Shibarium blockchain to a railway track, where the community is setting up stations for users and developers, including tech updates and connections with major players. Lucie noted that the community has "got the eyeballs of some key industry folks. It's a big project, and it'll take time."
