Shiba Inu (SHIB) has recorded a sharp rise in its token burn activity, as the memecoin undergoes major internal changes. Data from burn tracker Shibburn shows a 5,223% jump in SHIB’s daily burn rate, with over 21 million tokens permanently removed from circulation in the past 24 hours.
In the same period, SHIB’s weekly burn volume rose by 25.31% to 148.5 million tokens. This sudden uptick follows a community-led effort to tighten supply through strategic burns. At the same time, SHIB’s broader ecosystem is growing, with the long-awaited ShibDAO officially going live.
Burn Rate Spikes as Supply Tightening Intensifies
According to Shibburn, the recent burn of 21,292,085 SHIB tokens is a coordinated move by the community. This aggressive reduction in supply now places the total weekly burn at 148,506,693 tokens.
While this effort aims to influence scarcity, it comes at a time when SHIB’s technical metrics show weakening momentum. At the time of writing, SHIB was trading at $0.000012820, sitting just below the 20-day Simple Moving Average of $0.000014000.
This position suggests a mild bearish outlook. The narrowing Bollinger Bands, between the upper band at $0.000017774 and lower band at$0.000010226, point to low volatility and potential directional shifts.
ShibDAO Now Live
Alongside the burn activity, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has taken a major governance leap with the launch of ShibDAO. Previously just a roadmap concept, ShibDAO is now a functioning Decentralized Autonomous Organization built on blockchain principles.
According to project leaders, ShibDAO aims to transfer governance control to SHIB holders. It introduces a transparent voting system where the community can directly influence the future of the project. A proposed Karma system is expected to boost the voting power for consistent and positive contributors, though it remains in development.
This launch also coincides with the return of lead figure Shytoshi Kusama, who reappeared on X with teasers about SHIB’s future roadmap. His posts mentioned plans for a final white paper, artificial intelligence initiatives, and what he termed a “new age” for the ecosystem.
Weak Momentum and Distribution Pressure
Despite ecosystem developments, SHIB’s market structure shows a bearish outlook. The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line is currently at -30.49 trillion, indicating sustained distribution pressure.
SHIB’s price is well below its late 2024 high of $0.000050000, with a consistent trend of lower highs since that peak. Support is near $0.000010226, aligning with the lower Bollinger Band.
Resistance levels are at $0.000014000 and $0.000017774, requiring a strong breakout to shift sentiment. Weekly volume is at 69.38 billion, which is moderate but below highs recorded in past bull runs. Declining volume further confirms market indecision and a lack of buying strength.
Shiba Inu’s burn surge, DAO launch, and leadership updates suggest a major internal movement. However, technical indicators show limited momentum and rising distribution. With SHIB between narrowing Bollinger Bands and fading volume, the coming sessions may test both support strength and investor conviction.
