'Dogecoin Killer' Shiba Inu Daily Transactions Surge To 2.4M, SHIB Only 1.8% Off From Erasing A Zero

"Dogecoin killer" Shiba Inu SHIB/USD continues to attract interest with robust ecosystem activity and the potential for higher burn rates.

What Happened: The trading volume of SHIB has increased 26% over the past 24 hours, as Shiba Inu’s marketing lead Lucie revealed that the Shiba Inu ecosystem team intends to allocate 10% of the proceeds from its new NFT project for burning ecosystem tokens. Burning tokens has been a consistent strategy to enhance value across the ecosystem.

The Shiba Inu team introduced an upcoming NFT project named Sheboshis, primarily not available for sale.

However, holders of the male-themed Shiboshis collection within the Shiba Inu community will be eligible to claim female-themed Sheboshis (SHEB) upon launch. SHEB is a meme coin without intrinsic value or the expectation of financial returns.

Additionally, the Shiba Inu ecosystem now encompasses a metaverse project, a play-to-earn game called Shiba Eternity, a decentralized exchange (ShibaSwap), and an L2 blockchain (Shibarium).

In a separate development, Dogecoin co-creator Billy Markus denied any involvement in the newly emerged project Sheboshis addressing queries from the community regarding his potential association.
