The Shiba Inu burn rate faces new challenges, as it has recorded a massive 82% decrease. This decline comes amid a period of recovery and positive momentum for the SHIB price, raising questions about whether the meme coin can still achieve its 2021 All-Time High of $0.00008.
Shiba Inu Burn Rate Plummets
In the last 24 hours, Shiba Inu’s burn rate has crashed by 82.32%. The Shibburn wallet tracker has reported this significant drop, revealing that only 81,937,558 SHIB tokens have been sent to dead blockchain wallets.

This severe decrease in burn activity contrasts significantly with previous periods when millions of Shiba Inu tokens were burned daily. Shiba Inu achieved a historic feat not too long ago, burning $100,000 worth of SHIB tokens in one transaction.
The SHIB burn mechanism is a procedure that involves sending a portion of tokens to an inaccessible or “dead” wallet to reduce supply, increase scarcity, and potentially trigger a bullish surge in the price of the coin. These burns, recorded by Shibburn, a dedicated burn tracker for the Shiba Inu ecosystem, are primarily driven by the SHIB community.
While the drop in Shiba Inu burn rate may be a challenge, this development comes at a surprising time. The SHIB price has been showing signs of recovery this week, bouncing back from previous lows. The Shiba Inu price has surged 16.28% in just one day and appears to be on a continued bullish momentum. Additionally, whale volume has seen a spike, suggesting that investors are accumulating SHIB tokens.
Despite the recent price recovery and whale activity, Shiba Inu’s rise to $0.00008 could be compromised by its recent decline in burn rates. This decline appears to be severe, as SHIB has not recorded any notable burns over the past week. Shibburn reports that in the last 77 days, burn rates have been down 88%.
For Shiba Inu to surge to its $0.00008 ATH, the cryptocurrency will need to be driven by several bullish factors and positive market sentiment. A combination of heightened market demand, increased burn rates, and strong momentum could catalyze Shiba Inu to its ATH milestone. However, with the burn rate currently down, SHIB’s ongoing growth trajectory to a new ATH is now in question.
