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.
