Shiba Inu saw its largest burn in the last six months, which is typically interpreted as a bullish signal.
However, SHIB’s price remains heavily suppressed in the bear market, and multiple factors point to further downside in the short term.
On July 8, the SHIB team and community scorched almost 110 million coins. However, the USD equivalent of the coins sent to a dead wallet is negligible, and with roughly 585 trillion coins still in circulation, much bigger burns will be required to trigger a major upswing.
The burning mechanism was introduced in 2022, and its ultimate goal is to make the token scarcer and potentially more valuable (should demand remain stable or head north). It is also important to note that Vitaliк Buterin contributed a significant portion of the approximately 410.8 trillion tokens that have already been burned.
As of this writing, SHIB trades at around $0.00000429, an 8% decline for the past month and a whopping 95% collapse since the all-time high witnessed in 2021. Its market capitalization has dropped to around $2.5 billion, making the meme coin (once among the 20 biggest cryptocurrencies) the 37th-largest digital asset.
Back in the day, Shiba Inu was the subject of numerous optimistic price predictions, but lately the interest in it has faded, and the forecasts are rather grim. Not long ago, the popular trader James Wynn labeled the meme coin “old, dead, and boring,” predicting a potential revival in 5-10 years, when “a bit of nostalgia” could bring it back.
SHIB’s downfall coincides with its falling daily trading volume. X account BSCN revealed that the figure has seen a steady decrease over the last 12 months, plummeting from $637 million in July 2025 to around $50-$100 million nowadays.
The stalled activity on Shibarium is another worrying sign. The layer-2 scaling solution, launched in the summer of 2023 to boost speed, enhance scalability, and lower fees, initially processed millions of transactions. However, following an exploit that disrupted operations last year, daily activity has fallen dramatically to mere thousands.
Weak interest in the broader meme coin sector is another factor that could limit SHIB’s ability to stage a decisive comeback. Dogecoin (DOGE) and many of its rivals were among the best-performing tokens during the last bull cycle, but they are now a pale shadow of their former glory. The market capitalization of the mem

🦊 小靓解读
SHIB 销毁量创半年新高，但近1.1亿枚代币价值仅约几百美元，对总流通量（585万亿枚）几乎无影响。市场并未视其为实质利好，价格持续承压。
📊 市场影响
短期看，销毁力度不足以扭转供需失衡，SHIB 在熊市情绪下仍有下行风险。除非销毁规模持续扩大至数万亿级别，否则难以触发实质性反弹。
💡 操作建议
建议观望为主，不追涨。若持有 SHIB，可设好止损，关注后续销毁数据是否持续放大，而非单次事件。
