Summary
- Shiba Inu’s burn rate surged 439.79% as 10.68 million SHIB were permanently removed, strengthening broader token supply reduction efforts.
- SHIB remained under selling pressure despite stronger burns, falling 1.26% daily and 7.38% weekly as broader market uncertainty persisted.

Shiba Inu’s burn rate has jumped 439.79%, with 10,684,707 SHIB permanently removed from circulation in the latest 24-hour period. Shibburn data shows that the latest increase significantly exceeded the previous daily total, strengthening the token’s broader supply-reduction figures.
Over seven days, approximately 173.37 million SHIB have entered inaccessible wallets through multiple transactions across the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Additionally, more than 3.36 billion SHIB have been burned over the past 30 days, pushing the monthly burn rate up by 2,811.38%.
Shibburn records show that 410,843,703,896,181 SHIB have been destroyed across 21,502 transactions since the burn tracker started recording activity. However, stronger burn activity has not translated into immediate price gains, with SHIB remaining under pressure across daily and weekly periods. SHIB declined 1.26% over 24 hours, while its seven-day performance showed a deeper loss of approximately 7.38%.

SHIB Burns Accelerate While Price Remains Under Pressure
The difference between rising burns and declining prices highlights how several market forces influence Shiba Inu beyond its supply reduction mechanism. Token burns permanently reduce circulating supply, but price performance also depends on investor demand, liquidity conditions, sentiment, and broader cryptocurrency movements.
Consequently, removing millions of tokens does not automatically create enough buying pressure to reverse weakness in SHIB’s market price. Meanwhile, cryptocurrency traders are assessing uncertainty surrounding the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which remains unresolved in the United States Senate.
Lawmakers entered their August recess without voting on the legislation, which seeks clearer regulatory responsibilities for digital assets across federal agencies. Moreover, the legislation requires 60 Senate votes, leaving uncertainty over whether supporters can secure enough backing for its eventual passage.
Macroeconomic conditions also remain relevant because employment and inflation figures could influence expectations surrounding the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy direction. The Federal Reserve maintained interest rates between 3.50% and 3.75% in July, although three officials supported increasing borrowing costs.
USDT Liquidity Adds Another Market Signal
CryptoQuant data shows Tether’s USDT market capitalization recorded an unusually large contraction during the latest 60-day measurement period. USDT’s 60-day market capitalization change dropped nearly $4 billion, approaching some of the most negative readings recorded in its history.
Historically, substantial USDT contractions have sometimes emerged when cryptocurrency selling pressure approached exhaustion, although they cannot guarantee an immediate recovery. For Shiba Inu, expanding token burns strengthen supply reduction efforts, while demand and broader liquidity conditions remain crucial for price performance.
