Moreover, this is not the first time Koyo token has taken the initiative of burning a large number of SHIB tokens. On March 17th, the entity was responsible for burning nearly 924 million SHIB. The burns led to a 10960% spike in Shiba Inu’s burn rate. The cost of the tokens decimated is almost $10,000.

What is Koyo Token, and why are they burning Shiba Inu?

Koyo Token (KOY) went live only on ShibaSwap on March 9, 2023. At the time of its introduction, the Telegram channel only had a few users and one anonymous admin. After the launch, the telegram quickly reached the hundreds, including more than 50 Shiba Inu OGs, both past and present.

The KOY contract has burned 4.6 billion SHIB in just 8 days, with the largest burn in a single transaction coming in at just under 1 billion SHIB. The KOY contract automated 2% of the 5% buy and sale tax for ongoing SHIB burns through the burn gateway.

Moreover, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama follows both, Koyo Token and its founder, Kintaro. The high-profile list of people who have joined the KoyArmy telegram, including David Gokhshtein, Zach Humphries, YourPOP, Majestic Drama, Dom CEO of vEmpire, and Lucie Shiba Ambassador, has been interesting to observe.

By putting everything together, it is clear that Koyo is constructing one of the most substantial utility platforms exclusively on Shibarium.  Instead of attempting to imitate Ryoshi or SHIB, as was the case with many previous “inu” ventures, Koyo has declared itself to be a dependable and devoted ally of the ShibArmy and its ecology. Nonetheless, people are eagerly waiting for Koyo’s hidden identity.

At press time, KOY was trading at $0.01505697, up by 5.2% in the last 24 hours. On the other hand, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.00001088, up by 2.4% in the last 24 hours.

US prosecutors have submitted their proposed instructions to the jury for the upcoming trial of FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, set to begin in October. The detailed 100-page filing, dated Aug. 21, outlines how the prosecutors wish Judge Lewis Kaplan to guide the jury in Bankman-Fried’s case. The instructions are based on previous guidance the New York district judge has provided in other cases.
