The shiba inu ecosystem made headlines this week after burning over 1 billion SHIB tokens in just seven days—a staggering 1,677% increase in burn activity. This coincided with an 85% price rally, sparking analyst predictions of further gains. Meanwhile, Shibarium’s growth and a bullish technical divergence hint at a potential long-term shift for the meme coin. But with crypto’s volatility, is this momentum sustainable?

Did Shiba Inu Really Burn 1 Billion Tokens in a Week?

Between July 3–10, 2025, the Shiba Inu community executed a jaw-dropping token burn spree, removing 1,052,390,461 SHIB from circulation—equivalent to ~$14,000 at current prices. On-chain data from CoinGlass reveals this represented a 1,677.43% spike compared to previous weeks. "This wasn’t just a fluke; it was a coordinated effort to reduce supply," noted a BTCC market strategist. The burn mechanism, which sends tokens to unspendable wallets, has become a key deflationary tool for SHIB.

Why Did SHIB’s Price Jump 85% So Quickly?

The token’s price surged to $0.00001372 by July 11 (up 10.39% daily), though it later corrected to $0.00001311. Analysts like Jonathan Carter point to technical factors: "SHIB broke through a descending channel on the daily chart and tested the 50-day moving average." TradingView charts show this breakout could fuel rallies toward $0.000015–$0.000025 if momentum holds. However, the 75.06% drop in burn rate on July 12 (just 4.6M tokens burned) suggests volatility ahead.

Is Shibarium the Hidden Catalyst Behind SHIB’s Rally?

Beyond burns, Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 blockchain Shibarium saw major upgrades, prioritizing utility over hype. "Developers are building real decentralized apps now," said Lucie, a prominent SHIB community member. The ecosystem’s tokens—BONE (for gas), LEASH, and TREAT—gained clearer use cases. This shift attracted builders while weeding out speculators, potentially signaling a maturation phase.

Could SHIB Really Hit $0.000032? Analysts Weigh In

Technical analyst Javon Marks spotted a bullish MACD divergence, historically preceding reversals. His 180% upside target ($0.000032) hinges on sustained buying pressure. But let’s be real—crypto moves fast. Remember that trader who held 2.1% of all SHIB (~$882M at peak)? Stories like that remind us how quickly fortunes can flip in meme coin land.
