Community Engagement and Token Burn
The rise of Floki Inu can be attributed to a community action whereby a proposal to burn 2% of the token’s supply received overwhelming support. The token burn was considered good by the community and the investors as it meant reducing supply and possibly increasing the value of the remaining tokens.
This prompted FLOKI’s price to rise, gaining over 100% within 24 hours of the proposal being passes. The burn decision followed about 90% votes for the action, so the community clearly agreed with the decision and engaged in the token’s future.

FLOKI, as well as other meme coins like PEPE and BONK, among others, have had an explosion in trading volume with Santiment reporting an average rise of 3,000% in weekly trading volume.
