Shiba Inu (SHIB) has once again captured investor attention with a dramatic increase in its burn rate, surging over 1500% on Monday. The latest burn metrics indicate that approximately 13 million SHIB tokens were permanently removed from circulation within a single day. This significant reduction in supply has fueled optimism among traders, with analysts forecasting a potential price surge for the meme coin.
SHIB Burn Rate Skyrockets
According to a recent post by Shibburn on X, the Shiba Inu burn rate soared by 1547.97% in the past 24 hours. The massive uptick was primarily attributed to a single wallet address (0x541f60e5576764), which alone accounted for 12.13 million SHIB tokens burned.
Token burns are a key deflationary mechanism in the SHIB ecosystem, reducing the available supply and potentially driving up prices. Given the recent spike, market sentiment has turned increasingly bullish, with many investors anticipating a strong upward movement in SHIB’s price.
Weekly Burn Data Adds to Optimism
Beyond the daily burns, weekly data reveals that a staggering 527.54 million SHIB tokens were permanently removed from circulation. This marks a 465.59% increase in the weekly burn rate, further reinforcing positive sentiment around SHIB’s price action. Analysts suggest that the ongoing burn initiative could create a supply crunch, potentially driving the asset’s value higher in the coming weeks.
Can SHIB Rally 500%?
Currently, SHIB is trading at $0.00001328, reflecting a 2% intraday increase. Over the past seven days, the meme coin has gained nearly 8%, aligning with the surging burn rate. Market analyst Javon Marks remains optimistic, maintaining his bullish target of $0.000081—representing a potential 500% price surge.

This surge in market activity suggests growing investor interest and potential for significant price movement in the near future.
