Shibarium, the Shiba Inu layer-2 solution, recently reached a new milestone in the past few days, crossing the 4 million total transaction threshold. The launch of Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s layer-2 solution, has been a huge catalyst for the meme coin. At the same time, SHIB’s burn rate has exploded in the last two days, as investors look to push the price of SHIB in a positive direction.

The burn rate increased by almost 500,000% over the weekend with more than 264.20 million SHIB tokens sent to inactive addresses. What’s Next For Shiba Inu — Road To $0.00008?
