Shiba Inu Coin Surges As 360M SHIB Burnt Over The Week, More Steam Left?
The Shiba Inu meme coin has garnered significant optimism today, gaining over 10% against the backdrop of massive SHIB burn. As nearly 360 million coins were recorded to be destructed in the past seven days, a favorable impact on the meme coin’s market dynamics has taken place.
This chronicle has generated a torrent of speculative buzz on the asset’s potential to offer gains ahead. Let’s delve deeper into the SHIB’s current market dynamics and what it hints for future movements.
360M Coins Taken Out Of Supply
Notably, the tracker Shibburn on X revealed that 360.35 million Shiba Inu coins were burnt over the past week. This gave rise to a significant 418% spike in the weekly burn rate.
Meanwhile, usual market sentiments have taken a bullish turn, coinciding with the price rally and burn rate surge. Shiba Inu’s supply takes a massive blow as the token burn mechanism continues to kill SHIB.
At press time, the total supply was evaluated to be 589.27 trillion SHIB. Also, it’s worth mentioning that the meme coin’s community recorded the burning of 3.84 million tokens today.
Shiba Inu’s price trajectory waned significantly in tandem with the broader market’s trend in recent days. However, today came as a silver lining, attributable to the surge in burn rate and the broader industry showing signs of recovery.
Notably, SHIB has reversed yesterday’s losses, trading dominantly in the green.

SHIB Price Rallies
As of writing, the SHIB price rallied 15.30% over the past day to reach $0.00001539. Its 24-hour bottoms and tops were recorded as $0.00001296 and $0.00001546, respectively.
SHIB’s futures OI surged 8.45% to $34.53 million, further hinting at increased investor interest in the asset. However, the derivatives volume saw a 28.62% fall to $213.20 million.
The RSI moved along 30, contrastingly hinting at downside pressure on the asset. This data has shrouded the meme coin’s future price movements in a cloud of an enigma.

BitMEX co-founder and crypto millionaire Arthur Hayes has shilled another Solana meme coin to his followers. As expected, the coin’s price rallied following Hayes’ mention of the coin in an X post.
Arthur Hayes Shills FLOWER Meme Coin
In an X post, Arthur Hayes shared the Dextool profile of the FlowerAI (FLOWER) meme coin with the caption “kek.” Given Hayes’ status in the crypto community, this post was enough to send the meme coin’s price soaring.
When he made the post, FLOWER’s price was $0.02232, but the coin’s price has since spiked and is now above $0.03. The coin’s market cap was $22 million at the time but is now at $30 million following the price rally.
Arthur Hayes’ post has drawn criticism. Some of his followers questioned why someone of his repute was shilling a low-cap coin. Meanwhile, some accused him of intentionally trying to pump and dump the coin on his followers.
Besides shilling top SOL meme coins like Dogwifhat (WIF) in the past, Hayes has also dabbled into low and mid-cap coins. There was a point where he mentioned that he bought the MOTHER and MOG tokens. He also bet Solana AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).
Meanwhile, more recently, the Solana meme coin Deep Worm Price skyrocketed 180% after Hayes shilled it and asserted that the coin would reach a billion market cap. When he shilled the coin, WORM had a market cap of $55 million. However, following the pump, WORM’s market cap has since dropped to $41 million.
Solana Meme Coin Ecosystem Presents A Huge Boost
While Arthur Hayes continues to shill Solana meme coins, there is no doubt about the positive impact these coins have had on Solana and the SOL price. The SOL price recently hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $263, and this development is thanks to the increased demand for the coin among traders looking to invest in meme coins on the network.
The Solana network has also continued to record massive trading volume thanks to its meme coin ecosystem. For context, Solana is currently leading all other chains, including Ethereum, in terms of decentralized exchange (DEX) volume.
DeFiLlama data shows that the network has recorded a DEX volume of $44 billion and $5 billion in the last seven days and 24 hours, respectively. Ethereum comes in a distant second with $17 billion and $2.9 billion recorded during these periods.
With stakeholders in the crypto industry like Arthur Hayes shilling these Solana meme coins, the Solana network will unlikely continue to enjoy more trading volume as more investors also look to trade these coins.

Dogecoin whales are on a significant accumulation spree, as reports reveal that these large-scale token holders have bought over 550 million DOGE tokens. This massive accumulation trend comes as analysts predict that DOGE may be preparing for a major price leap.
Dogecoin Whales Go On Massive Buying Trend
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that over the past week, large-scale token holders, often called “whales,” have purchased more than 550 million DOGE tokens, valued at an impressive $214.5 million. Although Martinez made this announcement in an X (formerly Twitter) post on November 21, this news was initially reported by Santiment, a market intelligence platform.
The recent surge in whale accumulation has put significant buying pressure on DOGE, highlighting the increased investor demand and interest. Notably, this increase in whale activity comes as the DOGE price has recorded significant gains this month.
Historically, large scale whale movements have often aligned with significant shifts in the Dogecoin price. Earlier this month, there was an increase in whale activity as Dogecoin’s value soared above $0.3. While the unexpected price spike led to increased selling pressure, it appears whales are returning and are buying into DOGE in droves.
As the number one meme coin, DOGE has already gained a massive following and a supportive community, which have contributed to its popularity, widespread adoption, and increase in value. Recently, the Dogecoin price recorded double-digit gains as news of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) proposal spread.
Moreover, the positive market sentiment from Donald Trump’s win in the US Presidential election also served as a bullish catalyst for the DOGE price. With all these market rallying factors in place, whales appear to be hedging their bets in preparation for a potential price surge.
This spike in whale activity can also be seen as IntoTheBlock reports that approximately 60.9 billion DOGE tokens have been moved around by whales in the past week. This massive spike in large transaction volume represents $23.35 billion.
Analysts have also predicted that once the DOGE price breaks past resistance levels around $0.4, the cryptocurrency will enter a major bullish phase. Additionally, analysts forecast that Trump’s upcoming inauguration could further propel Dogecoin’s price, potentially pushing it to the highly coveted $1.
Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Pump Above $4
Following Martinez’s post highlighting the significant rise in Dogecoin whale accumulation, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade suggested that these large-scale holders may be positioning for a 10X surge in the Dogecoin price.
As of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.39; therefore, a 10X surge would push the meme coin towards a $4 price target. Trader Tardigrade has also indicated that if these whales aim for a much larger Dogecoin price spike, then the meme coin could be gearing up for a higher surge above $4.
