According to statistics supplied by the Shibburn explorer, the Shiba Inu community increased the SHIB burn rate today by disposing of a significant meme coin lump, U.Today reported.

This occurred when a Shiba Inu representative made a significant announcement on X (previously known as Twitter).

Shibburn has reported that the Shiba Inu army disposed of 40,067,872 SHIB meme coins in the last 24 hours. While the number of meme tokens burned is not particularly impressive, the increase in burn rate was enormous - a staggering 2,076%.

Shibarium Set for Major Upgrades with New Projects and $12 Million Funding Boost for Layer-3 Development

On Wednesday, Lucie, Shiba Inu's marketing lead, presented a list of Shibarium enhancements available this year and in 2025. This list contained the SHIB Metaverse, another incarnation of the Shiba Eternity game, and ShibaSwap DEX 1.75 (with version 2.0 to follow).

Shibarium's proposed additional projects include the layer-3 testnet and the TREAT token, which will power the new blockchain that will run on top of Shibarium.

To begin developing the layer-3 solution, the SHIB team secured a huge $12 million from prominent investors. The enigmatic SHIB leader, known on social media as Shytoshi Kusama, recently explained why he has often shifted locations on the X/Twitter app. He was spotted in Dubai, Hong Kong, the Maldives, and other US cities, including New York.

Globetrotter Shytoshi said that he has been traveling around pitching the layer-3 idea to investors and raising those above $12 million from them.
