Here’s How Shiba Inu Slashes 1.31 Billion SHIB From Supply

Shiba Inu has marked a major milestone as its community-driven burn initiative reaches an all-time total of 1.31 billion SHIB, as highlighted by Shibizens on X. This figure represents the cumulative effort of holders since the start of the burn movement, not just a single-day event.

Community-Driven Shiba Inu Burns Gain Momentum

Unlike traditional token burns carried out solely by developers or foundation teams, Shiba Inu’s burn campaign is a community-led mission. In this system, supporters voluntarily send their SHIB tokens to a special “dead” wallet, making them permanently inaccessible.

This process effectively destroys the tokens and reduces the token’s circulating supply. The idea behind burning is to decrease supply and increase scarcity, which may support higher prices in the future.

According to Shibburn, a leading tracker of Shiba Inu burns, around 30 million SHIB tokens were destroyed in the past 24 hours alone. Over the last seven days, about 243 million SHIB have been permanently removed from circulation.

These numbers reflect strong ongoing participation from the community. Even with these impressive totals, Shiba Inu still has an enormous circulating supply. At present, over 589 trillion SHIB tokens remain active.

This means continued burning is essential if the community hopes to achieve significant scarcity over time.

SHIB Burn Parties Fuel Community Spirit as Ecosystem Expansion Continues

The SHIB community often organizes “burn parties” and social campaigns encouraging more holders to join in and send tokens to the burn address. Many see this as a way to demonstrate loyalty and contribute to the project’s future growth.

In response, the Shiba Inu ecosystem has been expanding rapidly. Projects like the Shibarium layer-2 network, metaverse integrations, and new payment partnerships strengthen SHIB’s fundamental value.

The latest burn milestone reflects the unwavering commitment of Shiba Inu’s supporters. It showcases the power of decentralized, grassroots initiatives in shaping a cryptocurrency’s supply dynamics without top-down directives.

Over the past 24 hours, SHIB price has slightly declined by about 1.5%, trading around $0.000017 at the time of writing. Many community members understand that the burn actions are part of a longer journey toward a more stable and robust token ecosystem.
