Shiba Inu (SHIB) is experiencing renewed interest after fresh data revealed a massive 300% spike in on-chain activity. The meme coin recorded one of its most significant surges in transaction volume in months, indicating a possible sign of the market bottoming as large holders seemingly prepare for the next leg. Shiba Inu Sees Explosive On-Chain Growth Shiba Inu’s on-chain activity has erupted in recent days, with token transfer volumes recording a major increase. According to Etherscan’s data, on August 25, SHIB’s transfer volume surged over 4.25 trillion tokens, representing a 300% increase from the 1.13 trillion recorded the previous day. This sudden rise highlights renewed liquidity flows and investor participation, possibly signaling that Shiba Inu may be gearing up for a market bottom. Related Reading: Shiba Inu 699,000% Imbalance: What Happened To Trigger It? Interestingly, despite the dramatic surge in volume, transaction counts did not follow the same upward trend. Data shows that while August 24 saw 5,478 transfers, the number slightly declined to 5,355 on August 25, marking a drop of 123 transactions. This disparity suggests that the spike in Shiba Inu’s on-chain volume was not driven by a higher number of transfers, but rather by larger transaction sizes, indicating renewed whale activity or significant reallocations within the ecosystem. As of August 27, SHIB’s transfer volume slightly cooled to 3.26 trillion tokens, with transaction counts dropping significantly to 4,811. Despite this reduction, the metric still reflects a strong level of on-chain engagement compared to prior weeks. With the Shiba Inu price currently consolidating around the $0.000012 range, the recent surge in transfer volume may suggest that the market is finding its floor before the next expansion phase. Analyst Says SHIB’s Consolidation May Be Ending A new chart analysis by crypto market expert Kamran Asghar has added a fresh layer of optimism for Shiba Inu holders. Sharing his insights on X social media, Asghar hinted at the possibility that SHIB’s long-term consolidation may be coming to an end. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Head And Shoulders Pattern Signals 540% Upshoot To New All-Time Highs The analyst noted that Shiba Inu’s accumulation pattern is strikingly similar to those of previous consolidation phases that preceded massive price rallies. The accompanying chart shows three distinct accumulation zones in the meme coin’s history. The first occurred before its 1,154.2% rally in late 2021, while the second phase led to a 501.23% surge in early 2024. Now, Shiba Inu is trading within an extended accumulation zone again, and Asghar suggests this could be the setup for another explosive move. If the current pattern holds, the analyst predicts that the next breakout could see the meme coin’s price skyrocket toward $0.00009, marking a new all-time high. As of writing, Shibua Inu is trading at $0.0000126, meaning a rally to this projected target would represent a significant increase of approximately 614%.

Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network, Shibarium, has suffered a significant decline in its daily transaction metric, providing a bearish outlook for the top meme coin. This comes as the SHIB price looks to stage a rebound alongside the broader crypto market. Shiba Inu’s Shibarium Suffers Crash In Daily Transactions Shibariumscan data shows that daily transactions on Shiba Inu’s layer-2 network crashed from just over 4 million on August 23 to 1.09 million on August 24. The crash further extended on August 25 as the network recorded 624,140 transactions on the day, which represented a 2-month low for the layer-2 network. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Exchange Supply Drops Toward New Lows, What This Means For Price Meanwhile, Shiba Inu’s Shibarium recorded 1.76 million transactions on August 26, which is still significantly below the average of 4 million daily transactions it has maintained for some time. This development is typically bearish for the SHIB price, as a decrease in the network’s daily transactions leads to fewer token burns. The Shiba Inu team deploys some of the fees earned on Shibarium for SHIB burns, which helps reduce the token’s circulating supply and could serve as a catalyst for higher prices as demand increases. Notably, Shibburn data shows that the burn rate is down over 87% in the last seven days, with 8.8 million tokens burned during this period. However, a positive is that the Shiba Inu burns increased over 500% in the last 24 hours, with 1 million tokens burned during this period. This trend might not be sustainable if the daily transactions on Shibarium continue to drop. Meanwhile, other major metrics on the layer-2 network are also on a downtrend at the moment. This includes the number of active and new accounts, which highlight the network’s growth over a period of time. Bullish Case For The SHIB Price Amid the drop in these Shiba Inu’s Shibarium metrics, crypto analyst Javon Marks has made a bullish case for the SHIB price. In an X post, he stated that the structure of SHIB’s Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern remains intact and is currently in the final shoulder area of it. Based on this, he declared that the meme coin might be on the brink of a substantial surge. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Head And Shoulders Pattern Signals 540% Upshoot To New All-Time Highs If the breakout occurs, Marks claimed that the target is over 540% away at $0.000081, which could pave the way into new all-time highs (ATHs) for Shiba Inu. The SHIB price’s current ATH is $0.00008845, which it reached in October 2021. Meanwhile, fundamentals like the Shib Alpha Layer may help contribute to any potential surge in the SHIB price. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001253, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Shiba Inu has been showing signs of preparing for a significant price move, and technical analysis is pointing to a bullish breakout on the macro timeframe. Although Shiba Inu is down by 2.8% in the past 24 hours, a chart pattern that has been forming over the past several months suggests that the token could be on the brink of a powerful rally. According to crypto analyst Javon Marks, the structure of SHIB’s price action is displaying an inverse head and shoulders pattern, which shows the possibility of a massive 540% price surge. Inverse Head And Shoulders Signals Explosive Move The analysis, which was shared on the social media platform X, shows how Shiba Inu has been shaping an inverse head and shoulders structure on the 5-day candlestick chart. Marks noted that the token is still in the “final shoulder areas” of the formation, meaning it has yet to fully confirm the breakout. Related Reading: Bybit Exchange Unveils Massive Shiba Inu Balances In The Trillions As Price Tanks Basically, this means that Shiba Inu is currently in the process of forming the right shoulder before confirming the breakout. The pattern has been forming for more than two years, as it goes as far back as the second half of 2022, where the troughs of the left shoulder formed between July and December 2022. The head of the pattern, which represents the deepest pullback in the structure, took form between September and November 2023 during the bear market low. Since that point, the chart has been unfolding into the right shoulder. If the pattern plays out as predicted, Shiba Inu could be ready for a run that stretches far beyond its current price range. This inverse head and shoulders bullish setup is one of the most recognized reversal patterns in technical analysis, as it often indicates the end of a prolonged downtrend and the beginning of a major rally. Price Target Points To 540% Upshoot Based on the inverse head and shoulders structure above, Javon Marks predicted a price target at $0.000081, which represents a 540% move from the current price of Shiba Inu. However, this is keeping in mind that the breakout has yet to occur, and the analyst’s prediction did not come with a timeline for this breakout. As such, this breakout move would require volume and possibly a bounce from a strong support level to validate the bullish pattern. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Exchange Supply Drops Toward New Lows, What This Means For Price If Shiba Inu were to surge to $0.000081 as predicted, this price range would place the token trading close to its all-time high of $0.00008616, which has stood for almost four years. Interestingly, Marks noted that this move might not end at $0.000081, and it could result in new all-time highs. At the time of writing, however, SHIB remains far below that projected target, trading at $0.00001263. This reflects a 6.2% decline from its 24-hour high of $0.00001347.

The crypto market moved quickly after Jerome Powell hinted that interest rate cuts may finally come. Many assets moved immediately, and the Shiba Inu price was among the top gainers. According to this post on X, more than just a price chart, this moment reminded many that SHIB’s strength lies in market timing and its loyal community support. Powell’s Hint Sparks Instant Shiba Inu Price Momentum When Powell suggested that long-awaited rate cuts may soon be possible, the market responded quickly. Investors waiting for a clear signal rushed to position themselves, and SHIB wasted no time showing its power. The coin’s price surged with a 12% green candle in a quick move that shows how possible rate cut hints from policymakers can send crypto prices soaring fast. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts What Will Happen When XRP Price Hits $4, $10, $100, And $1,000 It was not just a random jump in price but a reminder of how closely tied SHIB is to larger economic shifts. When the Federal Reserve shows signs of easing, money tends to flow into risk assets, and SHIB has proven it can move with conviction. The sharp rise showed that the price can move much more quickly when the proper signals appear and that the meme coin is more active and responsive than many expected. The move suggests global signals could directly influence the Shiba Inu price. In this case, just a few words from Jerome Powell were enough to spark a strong reaction as his comments spread across markets and caught the eye of traders everywhere. It shows that when there are hints of a possible US interest rate cut, SHIB reacts quickly and moves in to align with the market trend. The ShibArmy Behind Shiba Inu’s Price Strength The X post states that price action can be exciting, but its community truly makes SHIB stand out. While price swings often draw attention, Shiba Inu’s true strength lies in its community. The ShibArmy has shown steady support even during uncertain times, and this loyalty helps SHIB stay strong and resilient in the crypto market. Instead of waiting for the world to tell them when to move, the ShibArmy stays active and prepared. Related Reading: Trump’s Pro-Crypto PAC Gets $21 Million Bitcoin Donation From Billionaire Founders This strength is not new. From the beginning, Ryoshi’s vision for Shiba Inu was more than charts and numbers; it was about creating a project and a community that could endure and be ready when the world finally noticed. The latest reaction to Powell’s hint reflects that same vision, with holders not simply chasing prices but being committed to the bigger picture. The ShibArmy understands that charts can rise and fall, but true resilience comes from staying together and believing in the long-term story. Powell’s possible rate cuts may have lit the spark for the latest surge, but the community’s loyalty keeps the fire burning. As others wait on the sidelines for more signals, SHIB’s supporters repeatedly prove they are always ready for what comes next. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
In a video published earlier this week titled “SHIBA INU — HOW HIGH WILL PRICE BE IN 2025?!! MY HONEST THOUGHTS!,” the crypto analyst behind the LuckSide Crypto channel argued that Shiba Inu’s upside for the remainder of 2025 depends almost entirely on whether retail investors finally return to crypto in size. “Retail has not shown up yet,” he said, adding that the share of people in crypto “remains very much unchanged from last market cycle,” which he put at “5 to 6% of the world.” In his view, without a fresh retail wave, Shiba Inu (SHIB) can rise but is unlikely to break its longer-term range; with a retail surge, he believes the token could “drop a zero” and set a new all-time high. LuckSide situated SHIB’s performance within a broader meme-asset rotation. He contended that the top tier of memes has been diluted as new entrants and brands pulled liquidity from incumbents: “When we look at Dogecoin, we’ve had Shiba Inu pull some of that market cap from Doge… Pepe has pulled some market cap from SHIB… and as each one of these has entered the space and done well… it’s just sucked… some of the life out of these assets.” He emphasized that this dynamic does not mean “SHIB is dead,” only that the ceiling has lowered until new participants arrive. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Takes Major Step With Community Governance Model — Details Macro headwinds dominated his account of the past 18 months. He summarized 2025 as a year of “tariffs, economic uncertainty, quantum computing concerns, [and] black swan events,” and described 2024’s late spring and summer as a period of “high interest rates” and “slowing down economy,” with overhangs such as “German government dumping” and “Mt. Gox concerns.” Against that backdrop, he argued, meme coins—“a small percentage of the total market”—typically require “a lively” market and “adoption taking place” to outperform. He framed the current meme-coin capitalization at “$69.88 billion versus the total market cap of crypto which is 4 trillion” to underline how dependent the niche is on incremental retail flows. How High Can Shiba Inu Still Go In 2025? On SHIB-specific fundamentals, LuckSide pointed to what he sees as constructive on-chain behavior: “We’ve seen whale accumulation except for like the last week or so,” and “huge supply removal from exchanges.” He also reiterated a long-standing call about price resilience during the drawdown: “Shiba Inu has not dropped off a zero. While many people said it would, I called… that Shiba Inu would never add back a zero.” Those signals, he said, have “set the table for basically a big Shiba Inu boom” if and when retail returns. His 2025 path splits into two scenarios. If retail continues to lag, he expects SHIB to remain capped within its broader trend, even if reflexive rallies occur: “Let’s say we get up here somewhere in September… that’s… kind of sucks in the grand scheme of things,” he said, arguing that such a move would still leave the token range-bound. Related Reading: Analyst Says Shiba Inu’s $0.000010 Support Could Trigger Major Bounce If retail adoption is “actually triggered and you see the masses flow into the market… which… is when the meme-coin percentage of market cap really tends to surge,” he believes SHIB could “drop a zero, moving past $0.0001 for the first time ever.”. In his words, “FOMO is a hell of a drug. Supply shock is a hell of a thing to witness in the market.” On timing, LuckSide sees a narrowing window in late 2025 into early 2026 for a renewed meme-coin phase. “Whether that’s here in 2025 still, whether that’s early 2026, I think our window is really closing to where the market is actually going to take off and you’re going to see this big meme-coin boom yet again,” he said. Until then, he counseled patience and focus on on-chain support: “We just have to… understand that we need fundamentals to stay strong, and eventually things are going to work themselves out.” The bottom line of his “honest” assessment is conditional rather than numeric. Absent a fresh retail cohort, SHIB’s upside in 2025 may be incremental. With a decisive retail return—evidenced by “people downloading exchange apps and actually pushing capital into the space”—he argues the token could finally shed a decimal and set new highs. As he put it, “Retail will not always be delayed in getting to the markets… and when it does… we have the potential for SHIB to hit some pretty insane highs.” At press time, SHIB traded at $0.00001212.

Shiba Inu has introduced a major change to its community decision-making system through Shib Doggy DAO, bringing new voting options that move beyond the old reliance on token staking. Now, community members can use ERC-20 token balances to take part in governance, or choose quadratic voting to prevent large holders from dominating the process. With $12 million in backing from major industry players and plans for a new Layer-3 chain, the Shiba Inu network is setting itself up for broader adoption and a stronger role in the Web3 space. Revamped Doggy DAO: Stronger Voting And Fairer Governance The Shiba Inu ecosystem’s governance body, the SHIB Doggy DAO, has rolled out a redesigned voting framework that makes participation more inclusive and secure. Until now, governance proposals have relied heavily on Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) staking, which limited flexibility and created risks of majority attacks. Related Reading: What’s Next For XRP After Crashing Below $3? Analyst Answers With the update, community members can now vote directly with their ERC-20 token balances. Token holders no longer need to stake assets to have a say in governance, making it easier for more of the SHIB Army to join decision-making. At the same time, quadratic voting adds another layer of protection. In this system, the cost of gaining extra voting power rises steeply, making it nearly impossible for wealthy holders to control outcomes. Instead of being restricted to one fixed model, they can now pick the governance method that best suits their proposal. Whether it’s staking, direct token balance voting, or quadratic voting, the flexibility allows for better alignment between the nature of the decision and vote counts. Shibarium’s Bigger Vision: Identity, Layer-3, And TREAT Token While improving governance is a significant achievement, Shiba Inu’s developers have even bigger plans for the future of the network. Work is already underway on an identity-based voting system that will give each person just one vote, regardless of how many tokens they hold. The voting system closes the gap between whales and small holders, guaranteeing everyone has an equal voice. Related Reading: Dogecoin Eyes 1,000% Increase To Reach $2.55 ATH This Cycle The team wants to launch a new Layer-3 chain next year and has raised $12 million from backers like Polygon Labs and Animoca. The upcoming chain will run on Shiba Inu’s newest token, Treat (TREAT), which rewards Web3 activities. TREAT is already listed on major exchanges like MEXC, Bitget, and Gate, signaling growing interest and adoption. Beyond TREAT, other tokens in the Shiba Inu ecosystem will also play distinct roles. Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) and DogeKiller (LEASH) will serve different on-chain functions, helping power the multi-token system that supports Shibarium. The new governance model connects to the bigger Web3 trend of digital identity. Shibarium has a Karma points system that measures reputation and trust across the community. By tying voting to identity and reputation, Shiba Inu moves to a safer, more trusted system that helps it grow to one billion users. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com
According to reports, Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell 4.50% in the past 24 hours as the wider market moved sideways. The token’s seven-day retracement likewise sits at 4.50%, and it is down about 35.5% year-to-date while trading outside the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. At the time of reporting, SHIB’s market price was $0.00001261. Related Reading: After Monero Hit, Qubic Group Puts Dogecoin On Target List Shiba Inu Weekly Support Levels Hold Analyst MMB Trader has pointed to two weekly support lines at $0.000010 and $0.000007 that have repeatedly absorbed selling pressure. SHIB dropped to $0.00000714 in July 2022 after an 88% fall from its 2021 peak of $0.00008854, and buyers pushed it back up. The popular memecoin came back to that area in June and October 2023 and regained footing. This year, the token revisited around $0.000010 in March, April, and June and bounced each time. Those moves suggest there are price zones where demand has shown up. Analyst’s Targets And Recent History Based on reports, the analyst laid out a step-up of targets if SHIB clears its descending trendline. The first target is $0.00003364, a close to 170% rise from $0.00001249 at the time of reporting. The next level is $0.00005480, an increase of approximately 330%, and a distance benchmark at $0.00007716 suggests around 500% increase. SHIB’s own past provides some background: it climbed from $0.00000967 to $0.00004567 on March 5, 2024, on a meme-coin frenzy, and regained to $0.00003343 in December 2024 before again retreating. Models also give more modest short-term views; one forecast puts SHIB at $0.00001324 by September 17, 2025. Big swings have happened here before, but they came with heavy volume and wide attention. Related Reading: XRP’s Toughest Bull Run Could Lead To Big Gains, Analyst Claims Market Snapshot And Close Current sentiment measures look mixed. The Fear & Greed Index reads 60, which sits in the Greed zone, while technical indicators show a Bearish tilt at the moment. SHIB recorded 14/30 green days (47%) and roughly 7.02% price volatility over the last 30 days. Traders should note that those readings can flip quickly. If weekly support holds and a catalyst pushes volume up, the mood could shift. If those supports fail, the picture could darken fast. Meanwhile, volume and on-chain flows will be crucial going forward. A breakout candle that lacks rising volume may not last. Watch exchange inflows and whale transfers because large moves onto exchanges often precede selling. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
The Shiba Inu community is in its most defining moments as it kicks off its first election that will decide an interim president and set the course for the $7 billion token ecosystem’s future. With the fifth “Shib Year” now underway, some community members see the election as a significant step toward decentralization, with debates over leadership, transparency, and accountability heating up across the community. What’s Happening Inside the Shiba Inu Community In an August 4 post titled ELECTIONS, Shiba Inu’s lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, announced that the community will choose a new lead visionary and councils for each DAO, calling it “the true birth of a network state.” The election announcement has brought long-standing frustrations to the surface, with some community members accusing Kusama of poor leadership, lack of transparency, and keeping too much control in the hands of a few. Related Reading: Man Who Threw Away $1 Billion In Bitcoin Debunks Rumors, Here’s The Progress Woof Swap, a vocal voice in the Shiba Inu ecosystem, has been especially blunt, calling for leadership with “actual ability, not just visibility.” They wrote, “We don’t need an incompetent president,” and stressed that leaders must have the skills, strategy, and resources to guide the project forward. Other long-time supporters, like Shiba Germany, have raised concerns about broken promises, such as the unfulfilled goal of activating 100 validators and onboarding a billion users. There is also unease about projects like SHY and POE, seen as distractions from Shiba Inu’s core goals, arguing that the election will only work if it leads to leaders aligned with Ryoshi’s original vision of transparency, decentralization, and shared responsibility. How The Shiba Inu Major Electoral Process Will Work The Shiba Inu elections will unfold in three main phases. First, open nominations will allow any member of the community to apply. The top ten nominees will move on to a debate stage, with live or recorded sessions hosted across platforms. A second vote will narrow the field to three finalists, who will then face a final vote one week later. The winner will serve as interim president until the position is formally approved, no later than four months after the start of “Shibizenship.” Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Member Reveals ‘Primary Challenge’ And ‘Top Priority’ Amid Market Uncertainty Voting will follow a “1 token = 1 vote” system with any SHIB ecosystem token – SHIB, BONE, TREAT, or LEASH. Kusama argues that the voting system is fair by giving more influence to those with the most invested in the ecosystem’s success, as they have the most at stake. But the Shiba Inu Foundation will still hold veto power, a point that has fueled claims the process is more “controlled democracy” than complete decentralization. The interim president will coordinate the transfer of power, carry out the vision laid out in the “Shib White Paper,” establish the first congress of four DAO councils, and manage the community’s billion token economy. Logistical details, including the exact dates for nominations, debates, and voting, will be announced soon. With millions of holders worldwide and billions in value on the line, the outcome of these elections will shape Shiba Inu’s direction for years to come.

The debate over whether the crypto market is in Bitcoin Season or on the verge of Altcoin Season has dragged on for many months, especially due to Ethereum’s price action in the past few days. LUCIE, Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, recently touched on the matter, sharing insights on what’s currently happening, what to expect for an altcoin season, and when to anticipate a breakout in the Altcoin Season Index. Altcoin Season Index Points To Bitcoin Dominance Many traders and analysts have been closely watching the Altcoin Season Index, with posts on the social media platform X and news reports increasing in anticipation of a market-wide move that could favor altcoins against Bitcoin. Although the current market still tilts toward Bitcoin, signs of change are starting to emerge, especially with Ethereum now approaching the $4,000 price level. Related Reading: No Altcoin Season If Bitcoin Dominance Reclaims This Level According to the Altcoin Season Index from BlockchainCenter.net, which was also shared by Shiba Inu’s marketing lead, the index is currently standing at 39, well below the 75 threshold required to confirm altseason. Notably, the data from BlockchainCenter.net shows that the index has been hovering in this range after bouncing from lower levels earlier in the year. As shown in the chart below, despite recent momentum from Ethereum and XRP, Bitcoin is still holding a dominant position in the total market cap. At the time of writing, Bitcoin dominance is currently around 61%, above the 60% level that typically signals room for altcoins to take over. Interestingly, this is a notable reduction from Bitcoin’s 64.3% dominance from three weeks ago. Lucie attributed this decline in Bitcoin dominance to alt momentum slowly gaining traction across various sectors, including major altcoins and meme-based projects. This gradual build-up, she suggested, could represent an accumulation phase. This is a familiar August pattern that’s mostly always seen before stronger altcoin rallies. Eyes On September For Possible Breakout Although the current readings confirm that it is still Bitcoin Season, Lucie believes everything may already be setting the stage for an altcoin breakout next month. The combination of a drop in BTC dominance and a surge in the Altcoin Season Index above 75 would officially mark the shift. For now, eyes are on this breakout. Particularly, Lucie noted a September window for a decisive move that could ignite a true altseason. Related Reading: Hold On For Dear Life: This Bullish Bitcoin Metric Just Touched A 15-Year High At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s market dominance is at 60.0%, according to data from Coinmarketcap. Ethereum, on the other hand, has a market dominance of 12.2%. The last time the market saw altcoin dominance was in December 2024, when the Altcoin Season Index spiked to a reading of 88. Since then, Bitcoin has maintained control, with the most recent attempt to push the index higher stalling at a 59 reading on July 21. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Shiba Inu’s blockchain platform, Shibarium, is reportedly stepping beyond its original role as a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution. In a recent announcement, the development team revealed that Shibarium is now positioned as the core infrastructure for a decentralized, community-led future, highlighting its broader functionality and long-term vision for the evolving ecosystem. Shibarium Evolves Beyond Layer 2 Solution On August 4, the Shiba Inu team behind Shibarium clarified in an X social media post that the platform is more than just a Layer 2 scaling solution. They described it as a robust infrastructure designed to power a fully decentralized, community-driven ecosystem. This positioning marks a strategic expansion of Shibarium’s role in the broader blockchain space, emphasizing its importance as a foundational layer for both innovation and governance. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Team Unveils New Developer Hub Updates — Here’s The 411 Initially introduced as a Layer 2 built on the Ethereum blockchain to provide scalable and low-cost transactions, Shibarium’s evolution reflects a deliberate shift towards multifunctional utility. The team has outlined the platform’s capacity to support on-chain governance structures, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and real-world applications. This indicates Shibarium’s readiness to serve as a multi-purpose blockchain ecosystem rather than a single-purpose scaling solution. Another key component highlighted by the Shiba Inu team is Shibarium’s ability to allow developers to build freely on the network while empowering communities to govern their protocols independently. This dual emphasis on infrastructure and self-governance aligns with the core principles of decentralization, giving Shibarium the potential to become a breeding ground for next-generation blockchain applications. Compared to other Layer 2 solutions that primarily focus on throughput and transaction fees, the Shiba Inu team notes that Shibarium integrates the above features within a framework geared toward long-term sustainability and utility. In doing so, the team presents Shibarium as a dynamic platform where resilience and innovation converge to support a decentralized future. WoofSwap Proposes Major Updates For Shibarium WoofSwap, a key community voice within the Shiba Inu ecosystem, released a set of reform proposals on X, aimed at enhancing Shibarium’s scalability, utility, and overall appeal. At the center of the suggestions is a potential revision to the 20 million BONE token allocation, with WoofSwap urging community input to fine-tune the distribution. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Bearish Reversal Setup Says Dump Below $0.000013 Is Coming Alongside tokenomics adjustments, the proposal targets technical improvements such as optimizing cross-chain speed to achieve a near one-minute transaction finality, positioning Shibarium as a faster and more competitive Layer 2 network. Other key technical refinements include streamlining smart contracts to lower Ethereum gas fees and expanding support for trendline cross-chain tokens. Beyond infrastructure, the proposal addresses governance and engagement for Shibarium. Decentralization also remains a priority, with a call to gradually open validator nodes while maintaining strict security standards. WoofSwap also urged influencers to be more cautious with their public roles, highlighting the need for credibility as Shibarium evolves. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Shiba Inu's Bollinger bands are tightest since early 2024, indicating a potential volatility explosion ahead.
In the face of growing market uncertainty, a Shiba Inu developer, Kaal Dhairya, has spoken out on X about the project’s internal problem and the team’s top priorities. As SHIB begins August with a market dip, slipping further down the crypto rankings, and facing growing competition, Dhairya is drawing attention to the internal struggles holding the ecosystem back. Shiba Inu Primary Challenge Revealed According to Kaal Dhairya, the biggest issue holding Shiba Inu back is not the market, but what’s happening inside the community, highlighting the ongoing splits slowing down SHIB’s development and holding back its progress. He says rather than evaluating projects based on their potential benefits to Shibarium and SHIB holders, decision-makers often base their choices on personal opinions and bias. Related Reading: Spot Ethereum ETFs Set A New Record In July With $5.4 Billion Monthly Inflow Dhairya gave a past example to show how things used to be different. He mentioned how the K9 project thrived under the support and guidance of trusted community members like himself and another developer, Shytoshi Kusama. Back then, no one saw it as a scam or a quick cash grab, and the community supported it. But now, he says, even legitimate projects get caught in the crossfire of personal rivalries and distrust. Individuals who have already raised significant amounts of money from the SHIB community or built influence under changing identities often drive this tension. He added that while it is typical for projects to hire advisors or influencers to promote their tokens in return for payment, he believes the SHIB community should aim for something better. Dhairya emphasized the need for openness and honesty within the community regarding personal gains from promoting or advising a project as part of that higher standard. Top Priority: Building Unity And Community Governance With the market turning and the cryptocurrency dropping under the top 20 in the rankings, Dhairya clarified that the main priority now must be unity. Shiba Inu saw a 9% rise in July, but that momentum quickly faded. By early August, SHIB had dropped over 2%, falling from a high of $0.00001437 on July 28 to a low of $0.0000116 on August 2. The token has now dropped to the 22nd spot in the crypto rankings, with a market cap of $7.17 billion. Related Reading: Ripple Exec Reveals What Will Drive The XRP Price Value Instead of being divided by internal arguments, Dhairya wants the community to unite and tackle the external challenges, especially in light of SHIB’s recent price drop. These include rival projects that have pushed the cryptocurrency out of the top 10 and major web3 companies and crypto infrastructures that continue to overlook Shiba Inu. He also mentioned centralized exchanges that earn large profits from SHIB but do not show the community the respect it deserves. To face these outside forces, Dhairya stressed implementing practical decision-making tools, eliminating favoritism, and supporting projects that add actual value to the ecosystem. The developer also underscored the need to empower Shiba Inu’s decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) as the future lies in building a fair, community-led system where every “Shibizen” has an equal voice. He further suggests a quad-token governance model and adherence to ethical guidelines, like the Great Canine Code, to keep leaders accountable and prevent misuse of power.

he number of SHIB tokens on exchanges surged, suggesting potential whale distribution despite significant accumulation.
After a relatively quiet week for altcoins, XRP, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu received a fresh wave of attention thanks to a major update from Gemini. The US-based crypto exchange announced that it is now officially allowing these three tokens, as well as Bitcoin Cash and Solana, as cross-collateral assets for its derivatives platform. Major Boost For XRP, Dogecoin, And Shiba Inu Gemini’s decision allows XRP, DOGE, and SHIB holders to use their tokens as collateral for GUSD-settled perpetual contracts, a feature that was previously limited to BTC, ETH, USDT, and Gemini stablecoin GUSD. All five newly supported tokens come with varying collateral “haircuts,” meaning only a portion of their value is counted toward margin requirements. XRP and Solana each have a 15% haircut, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu face a more severe 30% haircut due to their higher volatility profiles.

This move not only deepens the utility of these cryptocurrencies but also opens up new use cases for traders who want to leverage their holdings in perpetual contracts without converting to stablecoins. It’s a particularly meaningful step for XRP, which has been working to strengthen its institutional appeal and global payments utility. The move is also beneficial for meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which are seeing increasing demand outside of the meme coin niche. This expansion also shows a larger trend in crypto derivatives. Many crypto exchanges, especially those in the US, are increasingly opening their doors to altcoins. It is also a drastic turnaround from the state of the crypto market some years back. For nearly three years, XRP was delisted or unavailable on most US-based trading platforms due to the legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It wasn’t until July 2023, following Judge Analisa Torres’s partial ruling that XRP was not a security when sold on exchanges, that the token began to make its return to major US platforms, including Gemini. Price Action Trending Downwards At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $3.13, a 1.4% decline from the previous day but still holding within its recent range between $3.06 and $3.18. Dogecoin is trading at $0.2226, with modest intraday movement after failing to sustain its push above $0.23. The king of meme coins is down by 3.2% and 14.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breaks Above $0.26 In Weekend Rally As Pundit Predicts 2,600% Surge Shiba Inu, meanwhile, is trading at $0.000013, also down by about 4% in the past 24 hours and over 13% in the past seven days. Nonetheless, many analysts still maintain a bullish long-term outlook for these cryptocurrencies. Forecast models project that Dogecoin could climb to $1 in the current bull cycle, while SHIB is expected to reach at least $0.000045. XRP’s trajectory is even more ambitious among many crypto analysts, with price targets ranging from $9 to $10 if adoption momentum continues and pending US Spot ETF applications finally receive approval from the SEC.

The token's failure to rally despite aggressive burn programs underscores investor preference for utility-driven projects over pure speculation plays.
The Shiba Inu price is back in the spotlight after a massive Coinbase transfer of 5 trillion SHIB shakes the broader market and sparks speculation across the crypto community. With uncertainty surrounding the intent of the large-scale SHIB transfer, the transaction has drawn significant attention and comments from crypto watchers, especially as it comes on the heels of a recent crash in the meme coin’s price. Related Reading: The US Is A Bitcoin Whale—Arkham Clarifies BTC Holdings After Brief Panic Whale Moves Fuel Shiba Inu Price Speculation A new report from Whale Alert on X social media has confirmed a jaw-dropping transfer of 5 trillion SHIB, worth approximately $69.98 million from crypto exchange Coinbase to an unknown wallet. The move has reignited market discussions, closely following a significant crash in the meme coin’s price that erased weeks of gains. CoinMarketCap’s data shows that Shiba Inu is now trading at $0.000014, down by more than 7% in just a few days. Notably, the 5 trillion SHIB transfer by the anonymous whale has raised eyebrows across the crypto community, with many expressing their astonishment over the sheer size of the transaction and others viewing it as a calculated move. The timing and size of the transfer have also led some to interpret it as a bearish signal, potentially indicating an upcoming sell-off, which could lead to further declines in the meme coin’s price. Others assert that the tokens have been deliberately taken off the active trading market and put into a vault, hinting at a strategic supply reduction. If conditions remain optimal, this could set the stage for a possible liquidity squeeze. In addition, as demand returns to the market, the crypto member states that Shiba Inu could face a thin wall of available supply, potentially triggering a price rebound. What’s more, the lack of clear information regarding the receiving wallet has only added to the speculation, with a community member suggesting that the entity, the 5,000,000,000,000 SHIB transfer, may have been driven by insider knowledge. Typically, whale moves of this magnitude tend to influence market sentiment, potentially triggering sharp price reactions and raising questions about possible coordinated activity. Market Eyes Possible Price Revival Beyond the initial shock of the 5 trillion SHIB transfer and its potential implications on price action and whale activity, many in the crypto space are beginning to draw connections to a broader bullish trend or possible price resurgence. Some crypto members believe that the reemergence of high-value whale entities could be a potential precursor of big price moves. Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst Others suggest that this move could trigger the start of a meme coin season, where speculative assets like Shiba Inu or Dogecoin experience renewed investor interest and dramatic price surges. Historically, large and sudden whale movements often precede market-wide interest and price rallies in meme tokens, particularly when those moves significantly shrink supply and hint at potential future accumulation.

Despite falling below the 200-day SMA, SHIB remained above the Ichimoku cloud, indicating a potentially bullish long-term trend.
Crypto analyst Maddox has provided a bullish outlook for Shiba Inu, predicting an explosive rally. His prediction comes as SHIB surpasses Litecoin to climb into the 18th spot on the list of largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Shiba Inu Eyes Explosive 126% Rally In a TradingView post, Maddox predicted that Shiba Inu could record a 126% rally to $0.0003579 from its current price level. The analyst noted that SHIB has printed confirmed weekly bullish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The top meme coin is now attempting to overcome the weekly 200EMA resistance. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Breakout Programmed: Diamond Hands Are Up 783%, SHIB Burn Rate Explodes 1,784% The analyst further revealed that a High Volume Node lies just above, and a close above this level will signal a bullish trend. Based on this bullish trend, Shiba Inu could move to the initial target of the weekly pivot at $0.00001774 before it then moves to the $0.0000579 High Volume Node. Meanwhile, Maddox noted that the Shiba Inu price has completed its retracement to the ‘alt-coin’ golden pocket 0.786 Fibonacci retracement. He added that a bearish divergence is currently growing on the weekly RSI but that this will be diverted with a thrust high. The analyst is confident in SHIB’s potential, suggesting that this is a MEME season. He noted that the Dogecoin price looks ready to go. As such, Shiba Inu is also expected to follow suit, given the correlation between these meme coins, which are the largest ones by market cap. DOGE is up over 38% in the last seven days. Shiba Inu has followed and is up over 16% during this period. Thanks to the current uptrend, SHIB has surpassed LTC to become the 18th largest crypto by market cap. The meme coin currently boasts a market cap of $8.89 billion. SHIB Ready To Run To The $0.000032 Levels Crypto analyst Javon Marks had earlier shared a similar prediction to Maddox’s. In an X post, he declared that in the nearer term and by confirmed data, the $0.000032s are levels to come for Shiba Inu in response to a bullish divergence. He added that this 135% move could only be the start of a larger bullish reversal for the foremost meme coin. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Could See 180% Explosion As This Indicator Flashes Bullish Divergence Crypto analyst Friedrich suggested that Shiba Inu could reach its all-time high (ATH) as part of this larger bullish reversal. In an X post, the analyst declared that SHIB is about to blast. He added that with Ethereum ripping, the meme coin will go for a retest of its ATH of $0.00008845 for sure. His accompanying chart showed that SHIB could at least reach $0.00008032. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.0000151, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves have hit a new low, the lowest level since 2023, providing a bullish outlook for the top meme coin. Based on this development, SHIB looks well primed for a parabolic rally, which could happen soon. Shiba Inu’s Exchange Reserves Hit Lowest Level Since 2023 CryptoQuant data shows that Shiba Inu’s exchange reserves have dropped to their lowest level since January 2023. This metric refers to the amount of SHIB that is held in wallets linked to crypto exchanges. As such, the drop in these reserves indicates that there has been a massive accumulation by whales who have been moving coins to cold storage for long-term holding. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Breakout Programmed: Diamond Hands Are Up 783%, SHIB Burn Rate Explodes 1,784% This development is significant as a price surge could follow, with Shiba Inu rallying to new highs. In 2023, as the exchange reserves began to decline, SHIB witnessed a God candle, which sent its price above the psychological $0.00003 level. The meme coin surged from a low of around $0.000007 back then. IntoTheBlock data also shows that Shiba Inu whales are back to accumulating SHIB, which could spark this rally as demand outweighs supply. Over the last week, SHIB’s largest transactions have been steadily climbing from the lows recorded in June when the meme coin fell to the support level at $0.000010. It is also worth noting that Shiba Inu’s correlation with Bitcoin is 0.92, indicating a strong positive correlation between the two assets. As such, the meme coin could also skyrocket as the leading crypto targets new all-time highs (ATHs). BTC is looking to reclaim the $120,000 psychological level, a development which could help SHIB maintain its momentum as it rallies towards $0.000020. Another Rally To $0.000030 In Sight For SHIB In an X post, crypto analyst Javon Marks confirmed that Shiba Inu is eyeing another rally to $0.000030. He stated that in the short term and based on confirmed data, SHIB is expected to reach the $0.000032 level in response to a bullish divergence. The analyst noted that this move itself is over 135% and could only be the start of a larger bullish reversal. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Price Could See 180% Explosion As This Indicator Flashes Bullish Divergence The analyst had earlier revealed that Shiba Inu had confirmed a clear bullish divergence on its Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Marks further remarked that this development points to a nearly 180% upside, which would send the meme coin back to around $0.000032. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Investing Haven also confirmed that the targets of $0.000044 to $0.000066 remain valid for the top meme coin. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001439, up over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

SHIB has outperformed bitcoin this month with a 20% increase compared to bitcoin's 13% gain.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) might be on the verge of a powerful rally, according to crypto analyst MasterAnanda, who believes the popular meme coin could climb more than 1,500% in this cycle. The analyst predicts SHIB may cancel another zero and reach a new all-time high if a few key levels are cleared. Related Reading: Bitcoin 30-Day Average Funding Rate Drops – Bullish Setup Takes Shape Signs Of A Possible Reversal SHIB has been stuck in a downtrend since March 2024. It peaked at $0.000045 before sliding back to close that month at $0.000030. Since then, the coin has moved within a descending triangle pattern, bouncing around the base while facing strong bearish pressure. However, something may be changing. SHIB has just printed a fully green weekly candle and gained 15% over the past seven days. According to analysts, this is one of the most bullish weekly moves since early May, when the token jumped 25%. Despite the optimism, SHIB remains below its 200-day moving average, which sits at $0.000016. That’s around 19% higher than its current price of $0.000013. Analysts see this as a critical level the token must beat to confirm a long-term bullish trend. Bullish Price Targets Appear On The Chart MasterAnanda believes SHIB will break above the triangle and make a run toward $0.000032, aligning with the 0.50 Fibonacci retracement level. If that plays out, the analyst sees a further move to $0.000067, then to $0.00010, which would represent a new all-time high. From there, two more possible targets have emerged using Fibonacci extensions: $0.00017 and $0.00022. Those would mark gains of 1,180% and 1,529%, respectively. While ambitious, other analysts have also supported a similar price path based on the same descending triangle breakout. Shiba Inu Sentiment Mixed As Greed Index Climbs Although bullish targets are grabbing headlines, market sentiment is still uncertain. Based on recent data, SHIB recorded green days on just 13 out of the last 30, and showed 4.25% price volatility. The current reading for sentiment is “Neutral” and the Fear & Greed Index stands at 69, which is in the “Greed” category. Price prediction tools indicate that SHIB could increase 27% to August 10, 2025, at about $0.000017. That will bring it nearer to its MA-200, but still far from the lofty targets being predicted by some analysts.

Shiba Inu's price has rallied 18% this month, marking its best performance since November, driven by increased risk-taking in the crypto market.
Institutional trading drove significant SHIB price gains, with strong resistance at around $0.00001250, CoinDesk's AI research noted.
Crypto analyst Javon Marks has provided a bullish outlook for the Shiba Inu price, predicting a potential rally of 180%. The analyst alluded to an indicator that suggests that SHIB can record this explosive rally, reclaiming the psychological $0.00002 level in the process. Shiba Inu Price Eyes 180% Rally As MACD Forms Bullish Divergence In an X post, Javon Marks stated that the Shiba Inu price has formed a clear Bullish Divergence with its Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). He further remarked that this points to a nearly 180% upside for SHIB to rally to $0.000032. Marks added that this may only be the start of a much larger positive reversal for the meme coin. Related Reading: 65% Of Shiba Inu Holders Suffer Massive Losses As Curse Of June Takes Hold His accompanying chart showed that the Shiba Inu price could hit this target between now and year-end. This provides a bullish outlook for the meme coin, which has greatly underperformed this year. SHIB has recorded a 45% loss year-to-date (YTD). Meanwhile, the coin is also down over 8% in the last 30 days. This represents a change of fortune for the meme coin, which recorded a gain of around 150% in 2024. However, based on Javon Marks’ analysis, the Shiba Inu price could still end this year in the green if it records this projected 180% rally. SHIB could also reclaim one of the top 10 spots in the ranking of cryptocurrencies by market cap. Fundamentals like the SHIB burns and network activity could spark this momentum for the Shiba Inu price. In an X post, a SHIB community member revealed that the meme coin has just shattered another record. Over 1.5 million on-chain wallets now hold the meme coin, with the number still rising. However, the SHIB burns will need to pick up as they remain unstable. Shibburn data shows that the daily burns have crashed by over 82%, with 1.5 million SHIB burned in the last 24 hours. The burn rate is also down around 11% in the last seven days, with 48 million SHIB burned during this period. SHIB Can Rally As Much As 600% Javon Marks is still confident that the Shiba Inu price can rally as much as 600% in the long term. He recently stated that the $0.000081 target for SHIB remains unchanged and that sights are still on an over 609% uphill run to reach it in response to a massive holding breakout of the displayed resisting trend. Related Reading: Can The Shiba Inu Developer Push SHIB Price To $0.01? Expert Responds The analyst remarked that due to the post-breakout action, he sees this target being broken above, bringing $0.0001553 in play. Marks, however, failed to provide a specific timeline for when this 600% Shiba Inu price rally could occur. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around $0.00001181, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

On-chain data shows Shiba Inu (SHIB) has its supply more concentrated on the largest holders than other assets like Ethereum (ETH) and Pepe (PEPE). Shiba Inu Has 62% Of Its Supply Controlled By Top 10 Whales In a new post on X, the on-chain analytics firm Santiment has shared how some top coins currently compare against each other in terms of the percentage of supply held by the ten largest wallets on the respective networks. Below is a chart showing the trend in this metric for eight cryptocurrencies: Shiba Inu, Ethereum, Pepe, USDT, USDC, DAI, Chainlink (LINK), and Uniswap (UNI). As is visible in the graph, the stablecoin USDC has the lowest amount of supply concentrated on the top 10 addresses among these assets at around 27%. Chainlink and DAI come close with the metric sitting at 32% and 33%, respectively. Others like Uniswap and Ethereum, however, have a more significant part of their supply under the control of these humongous entities: 51% and 49%, respectively. One asset that particularly stands out is Shiba Inu, with a massive 62% of its supply belonging to the ten largest whales on the network. For comparison, the other memecoin on the list, Pepe, has the same metric at 39%. Generally, the centralization of supply on just a few hands isn’t a constructive sign for any cryptocurrency’s stability, as tokens signify power on the network. It’s especially relevant in the case of a proof-of-stake (PoS) asset like Ethereum. As Santiment explains, As a retail trader, it’s generally safer to hold coins with less supply held by the most elite whales. There is less risk of sudden dumps or price manipulation should an asset’s largest whales decide to exit their positions. Given this, the assets like Ethereum, Uniswap, and Shiba Inu that currently have a majority of their supply or close to it in the hands of the top 10 whales may not be in the best position right now. In some other news, the cryptocurrency market sentiment is on the verge of extreme greed, according to the Fear & Greed Index. The Fear & Greed Index is an indicator created by Alternative that inputs a few different factors to determine the investor mentality as a score lying between zero and hundred. As displayed above, the cryptocurrency Fear & Greed has a value of 73 at the moment. This corresponds to the presence of a strong sentiment of greed present among the traders. Historically, markets have often moved in the direction that goes contrary to the expectations of the crowd. The probability of a contrary move is especially strong in the extreme ends of the index. For now, the market is still outside of the extreme greed zone, but only by a couple of units. SHIB Price At the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading around $0.0000115, up over 3% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Alternative.me, chart from TradingView.com
Significant trading activity occurred on June 29, with SHIB breaking out of its consolidation pattern on high volume.
Shiba Inu tumbled to an intraday bottom of $0.000010 on Sunday, marking its weakest point in 16 months. According to market analyst Tom Tucker, that low could set the stage for a sharp turnaround. Related Reading: Stablecoin Wars Ignite: Peter Schiff Champions Gold-Backed Digital Assets The meme coin has slipped 14% since June began and is off 37% from its May high of $0.00001764. Big holders are growing cautious too, with whale wallets down about 80% and open interest in Shiba Inu futures falling to $123 million—a level last seen in early April. Double Bottom Pattern Offers Hope Based on reports from Tucker’s June 22 chart examination, the meme coin appears to be forming a classic double bottom on its daily price graph. That pattern often signals that a sell-off has run its course. SHIB first bounced off roughly $0.00001028 on April 7, climbing 70% to reach $0.00001765 by May 12. Now that the coin has revisited that support zone at around $0.00001030, traders will be watching closely to see if history repeats itself. $SHIB crashed 7.5% to $0.000011 as geopolitical tensions spooked markets. Down 38% from May highs, with whale holdings -80% and futures OI at a 1-month low. TA shows deep oversold levels, but a double-bottom near $0.00001030 could spark a 62% rebound if support holds.#SHIB pic.twitter.com/uEo3ebjxXD — Tom Tucker (@WhatzTheTicker) June 22, 2025 Support Zone Holds Crucial Key According to Tucker, Shiba Inu needs to stay above $0.000010 to confirm the double bottom. The token has already climbed 7.7% from Sunday’s trough to trade around $0.00001081 today. If the support holds firm, he predicts a 62% rally that would lift SHIB to about $0.00001752—practically matching last month’s peak. Whales Exit As Risk Appetite Fades The most recent decline in major holder balances suggests that there could be a shift in market sentiment among Shiba Inu biggest fan base. Whale positions have been 80% lower from its May high, and the decline in open interest hints that leveraged speculators are not taking as much risk. Those moves suggest caution is likely to persist until the buyers return en masse. Shiba Inu Team Urges Patience Meanwhile, the Shiba Inu ecosystem’s marketing lead, Lucie, has asked the community to stay calm. Based on statements from the team, the rally to $0.01 is still the long-term goal, but reaching that milestone means to not “panic” and stay resilient. Panic is not an option. If we haven’t won yet, it’s because it’s not over. — ???????????????????? (@LucieSHIB) June 22, 2025 Related Reading: Bitcoin Wobbles? Metaplanet Buys Big, Breaks $1 Billion Mark Lucie reminded supporters that market swings are part of the journey and that holding through downturns could pay off down the line. Investors seeking a clear entry point might find the present price action appealing. If SHIB manages to hold above that $0.000010 support, a rapid recovery is in the cards. But if the coin goes below that line, the next move down might take it to even lower levels. Traders should be observing volume, whale actions, and the larger crypto market sentiment before making their next move. Featured image from Imagen, chart from TradingView
Shiba Inu has experienced a V-shaped recovery from 16-month lows.
Shiba Inu has seen a surge in burn activity, with the burn rate climbing by 3,194% in the last 24 hours. According to data from burn tracker Shibburn, over 521.6 million SHIB tokens were permanently removed from circulation during this period. This sudden and sharp rise in burn rate has raised optimism within the SHIB community, although the token’s price action is struggling with bullish sentiment. Large Transactions Dominate SHIB Burn Activity As shown by data from Shiba Inu’s burn tracking website Shibburn.com, the latest burn wave was dominated by a few large transactions. A notable contributor was the wallet address beginning with “0xdb6,” which alone facilitated burns totaling over 500 million SHIB across multiple transactions to the BA-1 burn address. One of its largest single burns reached 310,744,788 SHIB, followed closely by another 107,333,061 SHIB, and then another 103,276,575 SHIB. Related Reading: Billionaire Snaps Up $100 Million Of Trump Coin – Details Other wallets also participated, including “0x28be” and “0x6176,” with each sending SHIB tokens into various burn addresses such as CA and BA-2. These contributions, although not on the same scale as the primary whale wallet, collectively helped elevate the day’s total burn count to over 521 million SHIB. Together, these burn events reflect a push within the Shiba Inu community to increase SHIB burns, which had otherwise been short of noteworthy burns in recent weeks. Despite Burn Efforts, SHIB Supply Still Faces Uphill Battle Although 521 million SHIB tokens is a significant figure for a single day, it barely makes a dent in the meme token’s vast circulating supply, which currently sits above 589 trillion SHIB tokens. This context relays the challenge faced by the current Shiba Inu tokenomics. Despite periods of aggressive burns like the one witnessed in the past 24 hours, the token’s massive supply continues to weigh on its long-term price appreciation goals. However, the spike in burn rate is still a positive signal, particularly from a sentiment standpoint, especially now that the Shiba Inu price is struggling with sentiment. With SHIB currently trading within a tight range between $0.00001225 and $0.0000119, more Shib burns in the rest of the new week could bode well for its price action moving forward. As of the time of writing, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.00001192, down by 1.7% in the last 24 hours. Despite the massive uptick in burn activity, market response is somewhat muted. However, there may be more happening behind the scenes.

The Shiba Inu development crew has rolled out a new tech layer that could shift how people use SHIB. According to reports, the beta version of Shib Alpha Layer went live on June 12, 2025. It’s made in partnership with ElderLabs, and it got built without any VC backing. Now users can test it before the full launch. Related Reading: Bitcoin To $1 Million? Michael Saylor Laughs Off Crypto Winter Fears Shib Alpha Layer Beta Launch Based on reports, the Shib Alpha Layer brings all the separate rollups in the ecosystem under one hood. You won’t need to jump from bridge to bridge. You transact as if you’re on a single chain, even though dozens of rollups run beneath the surface. The project reached beta in record time, and the team says they did it all with their own funds. User Friendly Experience Users can pay fees in SHIB, BONE, or any token they hold. That cuts out the problem of having to swap tokens just to cover gas. You’ll also get near‑instant finality, so transactions show up almost right away. Those features may seem small, but they could pull in people who find current rollup setups clunky and slow. Shiba Inu: Security And Privacy Features Shib Alpha Layer uses ZAMA’s Fully Homomorphic Encryption. That lets smart contracts run on encrypted data, so the logic stays private. It’s rare to see FHE live in a crypto network, but the beta is already up and running. Security audits have been promised before the public release, which should ease some worries about bugs or hacks. Today we flip the script. For years we’ve been called “just a meme,” spammed with Wen Shibarium?, and drowned in FUD from bots, burnt deadweight ex-team but instead of arguing, we shipped.

Future updates will open up rollup deployment to everyone and boost multi‑chain links. Instant bridging is on the roadmap, too, so moving assets between chains could happen in a click. READ THIS: https://t.co/zZcjV0VhHv — Shytoshi Kusama™ (@ShytoshiKusama) June 13, 2025 The team’s main coder, Kaal Dhairya, pointed out that early critics called SHIB a joke coin. They’d ask “Wen Shibarium?” and spread fear, uncertainty and doubt. He said those jibes didn’t slow them down. Instead, they focused on building.
