Shiba Inu could burn at least 111 trillion within months, here’s how

SHIBQueenie, moderator of the official SHIB Discord channel, speculated that at least 111 trillion SHIB could be burned within 12 months. In her hypothesis about burning trillions of SHIB, ShibaSwap 2.0 and the impending Layer 2 Shibarium are both expected to play significant roles. The SHIB Discord moderator also anticipated that, in the coming months, dApps on Shibarium could cause the local ecosystem to burn trillions more SHIB. The renaming of Shiba Inu Lands in SHIB Metaverse would make it possible to burn through billions of SHIB. Of course, this does not include several other burn initiatives, which are currently recording millions and even billions of SHIB burned in weeks.

From Dogecoin to Bitcoin: Australia to “token map” crypto assets

Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says that the country is set to become the first one in the world to carry out the process of cryptocurrency mapping. The process entails specifying the characteristics of particular cryptocurrencies, including such popular meme coins as Dogecoin. Regulators will determine specific types of crypto assets, their core tech features, and underlying code. In the near future, the Australian government is set to introduce a consultation paper on digital assets. As noted by Treasurer Jim Chalmers, the crypto market remains mostly unregulated in the country. Thus, it is necessary to develop mechanisms that would improve investor protection.
