Floki (FLOKI), a dog-themed cryptocurrency, experienced a staggering 300% price increase in the past 7 days.
This decision, with nearly 90% of votes in favor, aims to permanently remove tokens from circulation, potentially increasing the value of remaining tokens. The burn event is expected to occur in seven days, following the large community participation.
This isn’t the first time Floki has implemented a burning strategy. In January 2023, a similar event took place. Last week, developers proposed removing 190 billion tokens, valued at $11 million at the time, to enhance network security and boost overall sentiment.
Interestingly, the tokens targeted for burning are stored on the Multichain bridge, a platform that faced a significant exploit in July 2023, resulting in over $130 million stolen.
