Shibarium will collect fees in the governance Bone token, which is used as gas to conduct transactions on the network. Bone tokens will then be converted into SHIB automatically after it reaches a threshold of $25,000 in value. After the conversion is completed, Shibarium will burn SHIB tokens and permanently remove it from circulation.

However, now that Shibarium is confirmed to burn SHIB tokens, is there a possibility for Shiba Inu to reach $1? In this article, we will highlight how many years it could take for Shiba Inu to hit the $1 mark through burns from Shibarium.

If everything goes right and assume that Shibarium burns 3 trillion tokens every year, it would still not make SHIB reach $1 in our lifetime. The dynamics here come into play differently as the supply would remain plenty with demand being scarce.

For the context, Shiba Inu has 589 trillion tokens in circulation and hardly just 1.3 million holders. The adoption is not catching up with the circulation making its price to either dip or remain constant.

In conclusion, even if Shibarium burns 3 trillion SHIB tokens every year, it would take 98 years for Shiba Inu to reach $1. That’s simply not possible in our lifetime. However, if Shibarium manages to burn more than 100 trillion tokens per year, only then could Shiba Inu have any chances of hitting $1 before our lifetime.
