SHIB Burn Rate Soars 685% as Shiba Inu Community Anticipates Price Surge
The Shiba Inu (SHIB)community is witnessing a significant uptick in the burn rate of SHIB meme coins, surging by an impressive 685% over the last week. Despite a downturn in daily metrics, the weekly figures reveal robust participation from holders, pushing 399,586,110 SHIB to dead-end blockchain addresses, effectively reducing the circulating supply.
SHIB Burns Soar, Fueling Price Surge Speculation
Recent data from Shibburn, published on their X handle, showcases a surge in the community-driven burn activities for Shiba Inu. Over the past seven days, the burn rate increased exponentially, contrasting with a 63% drop in the daily burn figures, where 39,878,482 coins were sent to non-recoverable addresses. This massive weekly burn sparks optimism among investors and enthusiasts, who see this as a bullish signal for the meme coin’s future value.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez echoes this sentiment in a recent X post, pointing to a buy signal on the TD Sequential indicator. According to Martinez, Shiba Inu, currently trading at $0.00002076, is poised for a potential price rally. He predicts the price could ascend to approximately $0.00002800, marking an estimated 35% increase from its current level. This forecast comes as SHIB shows a slight recovery from its weekly low of $0.00001983, now trading up by 2.21%.

Shiba Inu Price Faces Strong Bearish Momentum
On the 24-hour price analysis of SHIB price, the Williams Alligator indicator, consisting of three smoothed moving averages, signals a bearish market configuration. The jaw (blue line), teeth (red line), and lips (green line) of the Alligator are well aligned with each other, suggesting that the downward trend is established and may continue. The lips are below the teeth, and both are below the jaw, indicating that the current market momentum is strongly bearish. The recent candles have remained consistently below these lines, reaffirming the bearish sentiment.

Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering around 36.07, reinforcing the bearish sentiment by staying below the 50 mark, which usually indicates a bear-dominated market. However, the RSI nearing the oversold boundary could signal an upcoming reversal if it dips further and then begins to climb, suggesting possible exhaustion of the selling pressure.

Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that Ripple’s native token could rally to as high as $8 in this market cycle. The analyst also suggested that XRP could rally higher with this price target unlikely to be the top for the crypto in this bull run.
Why The XRP Price Could Rally To $8 In This Cycle
In an X post, Mikybull Crypto predicted that the XRP price could rip through $8 before a cycle top because of the current bullish fundamentals. Although the analyst didn’t elaborate on these bullish fundamentals, they likely include the optimism around Donald Trump’s pro-crypto administration.
The current US administration undoubtedly provides a bullish outlook for XRP for several reasons. One is the fact that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) looks likely to drop its appeal against Ripple. Such development is a huge positive for XRP, given the negative impact the lawsuit has had on the crypto before now.
Furthermore, CoinGape reported that Donald Trump is open to the idea of a US-based coins strategic reserve, including XRP. This is bullish for the XRP price, considering that this would lead to greater adoption for the crypto.
Meanwhile, the new SEC administration is more likely to approve the pending XRP ETF applications, which is also a positive for the crypto. In line with this, more asset managers are expected to file to offer an XRP ETF soon enough. REX Shares recently filed with the SEC to offer one, bringing the total number of applications to five.
A Price Surge To $3.80 Could Be Imminent
Crypto analyst CasiTrades suggested that an XRP price surge to $3.8 could be imminent. She noted that the crypto already hit the major wave 4 target at $2.88.
As such, the crypto analyst remarked that the major focus now is to flip these local levels into support before the takeoff to wave 5 at $3.80. She noted that XRP had hit $3.24 and rejected it a couple of times. However, the analyst expressed optimism that the third attempt could finally this level into support.
Meanwhile, CasiTrades warned that the XRP price could consolidate between $3.24 and $3.33 before a breakout. She added that a new high is also required to confirm the wave 5 target of $3.80.
With its current bullish momentum, there is no doubt that the XRP price could soon reach this short-term target. CoinGape recently reported that Ripple’s native crypto has recorded an impressive 36.9% gain in the last month.

Donald Trump’s decentralized finance (DeFi) project World Liberty Financial has purchased a massive 14,403 Ethereum in the last 24 hours, cementing further confidence in the altcoin. The project made a fresh investment of $16 million in buying these coins and is already sitting on profit as the ETH price surged 5% to $3,4000.
World Liberty Financial Stashes More Ethereum
Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has continued to accumulate Ethereum, spending a total of 48 million USDC to acquire 14,403 ETH at a price of $3,333 in the past 12 hours, as per data from Arkham Intelligence.
The organization now holds 40,765K ETH, valued at approximately $138.5 million. Additionally, World Liberty has a significant amount of ETH stored on Coinbase, which they recently deposited.

More Ethereum Purchases Coming?
On the other hand, Eric Trump, the executive vice president of the Trump organization has hinted that there’s more to come ahead.

In an effort to uplift market sentiment, Coinbase CEO recently announced plans to offer ‘tier 1 support’ to Solana following transaction glitches on the crypto trading platform. Notably, the exchange’s CEO, Brian Armstrong, revealed that the transaction glitch on the network was fixed. Further, efforts to prevent such issues ahead were also underway.
As a result, the crypto exchange giant now eyes increased support for the network, mirroring the same level offered to Bitcoin and Ether.
Coinbase CEO Reveals Tier 1 Support Underway
In an X post by Brian Armstrong dated January 22, the Coinbase CEO revealed that the crypto exchange is aiming to provide “tier 1 support for Solana, with the same level of support as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Base.” This statement indicated that after recent withdrawal issues faced by users on the crypto exchange, efforts to prevent such events in the future were in the pipeline.
Notably, Armstrong stated, “It’s clear we need to step up our game on Solana, scale our infrastructure, and provide native support for common use cases like DEX/memecoin trading.” Although, the CEO’s statements underscored that although the crypto trading platform is currently unable to tackle the surge in activity, a positive outlook for users lies ahead.
SOL Transaction Glitch Fixed: Coinbase CEO
Meanwhile, the Coinbase CEO has also revealed that the exchange has “the Solana backlog triaged, and transactions should generate quickly again.” This statement comes against the backdrop of a SOL withdrawal halt, wherein leading crypto exchanges Coinbase and Binance halted withdrawals for the crypto amid high withdrawal volumes.
In turn, some traders remain unhappy due to the loss incurred amid the network glitch, whilst others look to withdraw funds as the issue is fixed amid a broader crypto market recovery.
SOL Price Surges Over 7%
As of press time, SOL price pumped nearly 7.5% intraday and is sitting at $257.48. The coin’s 24-hour low and high were $236.36 and $259.83, respectively. Intriguingly, the crypto’s rising trajectory in tandem with the transaction trouble fix, as revealed by the Coinbase CEO, has ignited significant investor enthusiasm. Moreover, the current pump also mirrors the broader crypto market trend, as mentioned above.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that the Solana network saw a huge surge in activity amid the meme coins TRUMP and MELANIA’s recent launch, a potential reason why withdrawal volumes on Coinbase surged. In light of this activity surge, a recent SOL price analysis by CoinGape revealed that the token may experience significant growth ahead. In turn, crypto market watchers continue to eye the token with bullish long-term prospects amid recent developments.
