SHIB accepted by NowPayments
On December 30, crypto payments processing company NowPayments announced a special event that will allow the community to burn SHIB. Accordingly, they will burn 3% of the profits in SHIB. Thus, SHIBs are sent to a determined “dead address” and are permanently removed from circulation. To date, the initial supply of 1 quadrillion Shib has dropped to 549 trillion tokens so far, according to the latest data from CoinGecko. Half of this quadrillion was presented to Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum founder) by the SHIB founder earlier this year. Buterin burned 90% of this “gift” and sent the rest to a charity in India to help fight the pandemic that has shaken the world for the past two years.
