Shiba Inu (SHIB) has witnessed a significant increase in its burn rate, recording a 72402.61% increase over the past 24 hours. This development comes during ongoing efforts by the Shiba Inu community to reduce the circulating supply of SHIB tokens, potentially impacting its long-term value.
A Closer Look at the Burn Rate Spike
Data from Shibburn, a platform dedicated to tracking SHIB burns, reveals that 17,716,738 SHIB tokens were permanently removed from circulation in just four transactions.
These burns were not evenly distributed, with some transactions exceeding 4 million SHIB tokens, while others involved smaller amounts ranging from just over 100 SHIB. This activity follows a pattern observed in previous days, where burns occurred in larger and smaller quantities.

Impact on Circulating Supply
Since its inception, a total of 410,727,419,469,324 SHIB tokens have been burned. This represents a permanent reduction in the overall supply, which currently stands at 589,272,580,530,675 SHIB. The maximum total supply of SHIB is capped at 999,982,350,073,171 SHIB.
Further dividing the total supply reveals a circulating supply of 589,272,580,530,675 SHIB. The remaining 5,936,140,864,721 SHIB are currently staked (xSHIB). These figures highlight the ongoing effort to decrease the circulating supply of SHIB, potentially leading to an increase in its value due to scarcity.
Future Developments and Community Initiatives
This surge in the burn rate comes after the positive news for the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Lucie, the project’s marketing specialist, recently hinted at a potential collaboration with Shibacals, a project focused on leveraging blockchain technology for the authentication of physical collectibles.
This collaboration has sparked excitement within the SHIB community, with speculation surrounding the possibility of millions or even billions of SHIB tokens being burned as part of the partnership.

Furthermore, a report from Shibburn on July 1st revealed that the Shiba Inu community incinerated over 900 million SHIB tokens throughout June 2024. Notably, two individual transactions on June 11th and 13th accounted for over 325 million SHIB tokens burned. These community-driven efforts further emphasize the commitment to reducing circulating supply and potentially increasing the value of SHIB.
The Shiba Inu community has also called on major cryptocurrency exchanges like Binance and Coinbase to implement SHIB burning mechanisms. The future impact of these efforts and potential collaborations remains to be seen. However, the recent surge in burn rate and ongoing community initiatives demonstrate a continued focus on potentially increasing the long-term value of SHIB.
