The Shiba Inu community has launched a petition urging Binance, the world’s largest crypto exchange, to burn SHIB tokens. The petition, which has received an overwhelming response from SHIB supporters, has successfully crossed its first milestone, amassing over 1,000 votes.

Shiba Inu Petition Crosses 1,000 Votes

The Shiba Inu community has taken significant bold steps in its efforts to boost the value of SHIB. On July 17, 2024, the community started a petition, requesting Binance to implement a daily burn mechanism for 1% of all SHIB token transactions.

The Binance petition has garnered a significant amount of support from various community members, exceeding its first milestone by reaching 1,164 votes in just a few weeks. The petition is also nearing 90% of its goal, with just 1,500 signatures needed to complete the current stage.

Stressing the importance of the token burn petition, an X (formerly Twitter) account identified as the ‘Shiba Arab army’ noted that Binance has consistently fulfilled its promises to the community by burning LUNC tokens. As a result, the SHIB supporter has urged the community to advocate for similar burning practices and encouraged members to remain resolute in their push for a systematic SHIB token burn by Binance.

In addition, the Shiba Arab army is attempting to rally all SHIB community members from diverse countries, including Thailand, the United States (US) and Turkey. The supporter has emphasized the significance of maintaining a united front, asserting that unity and a strong collective voice will make the community stronger.

Shiba Arab army also revealed that the end goal for the community is to reach 50,000 votes. With over one million wallets holding Shiba Inu tokens around the world, they believe that achieving a 50,000 voting milestone should be possible.

Furthermore, the SHIB supporter noted that signing the petition incurs no cost and does not require purchasing SHIB tokens. They also disclosed that submitting a petition with 50,000 signatures will potentially prevent Shiba Inu’s name from being exploited and ensure that all token burns are executed by a credible and trustworthy platform.

Why Burning SHIB Matters

Shiba Inu is currently the second-largest meme-based cryptocurrency by market capitalization. While it was created as a decentralized meme coin lacking intrinsic value, Shiba Inu has grown exponentially over the years, cultivating a vibrant community with millions of supporters and investors.

Generally, the essence of a token burn is to permanently reduce the total supply of tokens, inducing scarcity and subsequently triggering a possible increase in the value of the cryptocurrency. Based on this, the reason for burning SHIB tokens is most likely to ensure that the meme coin’s value appreciates and remains robust. Furthermore, a potential increase in the value of Shiba Inu would significantly boost its standing in the crypto market, promoting a more sustainable and stable ecosystem for investors.
