Although large token burns on the Shiba Inu network do not always guarantee an immediate price recovery, they fuel scarcity as they cause the asset’s supply to tighten significantly, potentially driving demand which could lead to a major price recovery.
Shiba Inu down 5% in August
Despite the strong Shiba Inu network activity, which provides a bullish outlook for the asset, Shiba Inu’s trading price still remains substantially low.
After the major rally seen in July, Shiba Inu has continued to trend downwards, currently hovering around $0.0000044, while reflecting a negative return of -5.11% for August.
While momentum has remained bearish and the asset is still struggling to recover from its recent lows, market participants are not very hopeful that Shiba Inu will deliver a positive return this month.
