When it first made the call in July 2022, many affected wallets complied but a few did not. Recently, the team said one of the wallets sent the 15.2 billion FLOKI in and demanded a 1% incentive. At the time the proposal was published, the estimated value of the proposed tokens to burn was roughly $2.8 million. Based on the market dynamics from that time till date, the reported value of the burnt tokens comes in at $3,430,350.

One major highlight of the vote is the power of the Floki DAO. This entity shows its decentralization as it has helped in deciding at least three major events over the past years.

How Will Price Benefit?

The price of FLOKI is reacting to the token burning news as it is up 2.13% to $0.0002252. This price uptick comes at a time when the market is experiencing intense consolidation with some memecoin tokens losing their accrued gains.

For the memecoin, boosts from token burning might help amplify its valuation in the long term. Since rivals like PEPE recently retested All-Time High (ATH), the token might ride on this current burn fundamental to print similar record. FLOKI’s ATH is pegged at $0.0003437, attained in early November 2021.
