On Jan. 1, Shibburn summarized the outcome of 2024 in terms of how much meme coins were locked out of the circulating supply last year. This turned out to be a huge 44,623,604,014 SHIB. That was worth slightly less than $1 million in fiat. However, in the comments, many SHIB enthusiasts shared their disapproval, saying that it is likely to take years to burn the majority of the SHIB supply and they are not prepared to wait that long for the coin’s price to skyrocket.
Meanwhile, according to the same data source, in December, the SHIB community succeeded in burning 2,679,767,542 SHIB.
