You Won’t Believe How Many SHIB Got Burned While XRP Catches Up and Tether Prints a Billion More

Here we go, folks. U.Today’s got the top three crypto shenanigans over the last day—grab your popcorn 🍿.

25,696,960 SHIB in mere hours — What now, Shibas?

So apparently, the Shiba Inu team burned a boatload of SHIB tokens. Like, 25.7 million gone up in smoke—six transactions, the biggest of which was nearly 15 million SHIB (that’s a lotta decimal places). You’d think that would move the needle, right? Nope. SHIB’s price just casually ticks up 3% like it has a mind of its own, leaving us asking: Did anyone even notice? The burn rate shot up by 116.76%, which sounds impressive until you remember this is crypto, where numbers bounce like a jack-in-the-box on espresso. So yeah, big burn, small impact — classic.

XRP price no longer trading at discount—finally catching a break?

Bitcoin dusts itself off, altcoins like XRP join the rehab club. XRP’s been chilling around $2.14, up a nice 1.21% in the last 24 hours, which is basically like, “Hey, I’m still here.” Investors who snapped it up at $1.60 are probably feeling pretty smug now. Trading volume’s up 11.46%—which means people actually care, or at least pretend to. Rumor has it, XRP ETFs might debut soon (oops, sorry SEC), which could kick prices higher if all the legal drama settles down. Ripple vs. SEC is basically the crypto world’s version of a soap opera—stay tuned.

Tether mints 1,000,000,000 USDT on Tron — Because why not print more?

Whale Alert blew the trumpet: Tether just conjured a billion USDT outta thin air on Tron’s blockchain. Half of that immediately bounced over to HTX, owned by Tron’s head honcho Justin Sun—talk about keeping it in the family. Since January 29, Tether’s been on a minting spree, popping out 10 billion USDT. Think of it as the crypto market’s caffeine shot—more stablecoins = more fuel to buy BTC and friends. Will this lead to another Bitcoin price rocket? History says maybe, but hey, crypto isn’t called rollercoaster for nothing 🎢.
