Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) has seen a significant decline from its all-time high, despite its compatibility with the Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) ecosystem and the development of Shibarium, a Layer-2 solution. The token's burning rate surged by 6340% in the last 24 hours, resulting in the burning of 79 million SHIB tokens. However, even if Shiba Inu reaches $0.01 per token, its circulating supply would result in a network market cap of $5.9 trillion, surpassing companies like Apple Inc in terms of market value.
