1 Billion SHIB Within An Hour. Here’s What This Means to SHIB Price
The Shiba Inu community has set a remarkable milestone by removing over 1.2 billion SHIB tokens from circulation within a day as 1 billion of this portion were burned within an hour.
This significant development was reported by Shibburn, a blockchain tracker focused on SHIB burns. During this large-scale burn, SHIB’s price has shown signs of recovery, rising to $0.00002606 after a decline at this level earlier in the week.
Shibburn reports that the burn rate for SHIB has surged by 2,050% in the last 24 hours. A total of 1,282,587,181 SHIB was transferred to dead wallets, effectively removing them from circulation. The most notable contribution came from a single anonymous wallet, which burned an astounding 1,003,266,585 SHIB in a single transaction.
Additional burns included transfers of 209,312,491, 33,737,678, and 29,282,316 SHIB, spread across 14 transactions. This increase in burn activity suggests a coordinated effort to reduce the circulating supply, potentially boosting the token’s scarcity and value.
Shytoshi Kusama’s Ambitious Vision
Shytoshi Kusama , the enigmatic lead developer of Shiba Inu, has recently reiterated his goal of elevating the asset to the top five cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.
In a recent tweet, Kusama emphasized the challenges of enhancing the utility of a meme-based cryptocurrency without a large budget, sharing an AI-generated image depicting a chaotic yet determined effort to achieve this vision.
Kusama described the image as a metaphor for the journey to transform SHIB from its current rank of 14th on CoinMarketCap to a top-five position.
In another tweet, he confirmed that this ambitious goal is firmly focused on Shiba Inu (SHIB). Kusama’s vision underscores the aspiration of the community to secure a prominent place among the leading digital assets.

Current Shiba Inu (SHIB) Market Position
At the time of press, Shiba Inu (SHIB) holds the 14th position on CoinMarketCap, with a market capitalization of approximately $15.42 billion. The recent surge in burn activity has coincided with a modest price increase, as the token trades at $0.00002616.
If the current burn momentum and market interest persist, Shiba Inu (SHIB) could rise further. However, its path to becoming a top-five cryptocurrency remains challenging, requiring continued innovation and community engagement.
The recent burns highlight the community’s commitment to reducing supply and adding value. Whether these efforts will propel the asset to new heights remains to be seen, but the dedication of its developers and community suggests that the journey is far from over.
