The Shiba Inu Community continues to speculate about the reason behind the recent burn activity. Many believe it could be related to the Shibarium launch; however, no official confirmation or statement has been made. In a recent tweet, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, advised the community to wait for official announcements and not to jump to conclusions.

Please wait for official announcements #SHIBARMY. #DYOR. #shibarium
