Shiba Inu Roars Back to $0.000013 as Loss-Making Wallets Plummet 16%—But Burn Rate Fails to Keep Pace

Shiba Inu claws its way back above a key psychological threshold—just as underwater holders bail out en masse. The meme coin’s latest rebound coincides with a 16% drop in loss-stricken addresses, signaling capitulation before the bounce. But there’s a catch.

Where’s the fire? SHIB’s token burn mechanism—meant to artificially induce scarcity—is lagging behind price action. While traders celebrate the rebound, the burn rate’s sluggishness threatens to cap upside potential. Another case of crypto investors cheering a sprint while ignoring the marathon.

Wall Street’s old guard would smirk at the irony: a 'deflationary' asset where the supply glut outlasts the hype. For now, SHIB bulls ride the momentum—until the next whale dumps or the burns finally catch up. Whichever comes first.
