Shiba Inu is once again testing the $0.000014 resistance bubble, critical for wider breakthrough in the short term. The blue-chip dog-embossed meme coin picked up 9% gains on Wednesday, responding to Ethereum’s (ETH) rally toward $5K, as well as a massive SHIB burning initiative.

This SHIB Burn Transfer Takes The Cake

Particularly, one Good Samaritan was spotted sending over 85 million SHIB tokens to a null crypto wallet address, which is officially used to reduce the mainstream meme coin’s supply. This massive transaction boosted Shiba Inu’s daily burn rate by a colossal 48,324%, as the previous day had hardly seen any burns.

With today’s burning stats, the remaining circulation stands at 484.62 trillion, going gradually down over the years from the initial 999.98 trillion coins minted. The rising scarcity rates for SHIB is crucial in the longer term, as more Shiba Inu tokens leave crypto exchanges than ever.

According to Crypto Quant, the SHIB crypto reserves on crypto exchanges stood below the 100 trillion mark since February, 2025. Ultimately, this signals the SHIB holder’s desire to hold the token in self-custodial wallets, usually a sign of long-term holding.

As of publication time, the #29 ranking memecoin is switching hands at $0.00001399, just below the key resistance bubble of $0.000014 to $0.000019. According to IntoTheBlock’s insights, this particular SHIB price level holds a whopping 522.25 trillion tokens, so mutual holder sentiment could turn out to be decisive in the short-term.
