Shiba Inu Burn Rate Skyrockets 16600%, What’s Next For SHIB Price?
The Shiba Inu (SHIB) meme coin, known for its canine mascot, has recently captured significant attention in the crypto market due to a massive increase in its token burn rate. According to Shibburn, a platform that tracks the incineration of SHIB tokens, the burn rate saw a remarkable surge of nearly 16,600% on Tuesday, June 4. However, this surge comes amid a decline in SHIB price, offering hopes of a potential rebound.
Shiba Inu Community Initiates $21.5M SHIB Burn
The surge in SHIB token burning has sparked enthusiasm among traders and investors. It reduces the overall supply of SHIB in circulation, potentially enhancing its value. In the past 24 hours, the burn rate of SHIB tokens escalated by 16593.83%, as reported by Shibburn.
During this period, the community collectively burned a total of 21.5 million SHIB tokens across multiple transactions. Moreover, one wallet address grabbed the spotlight as they emerged as the biggest contributor to the spike in Shiba Inu burn rate.
The notable contributor with the wallet address 0x498… transferred a total of a whopping 21.31 million SHIB tokens to a dead wallet in one single transaction. In addition, other Shiba Inu community members conducted several token burns, driving the burn rate higher.
As a result of these large transactions, the cumulative amount of SHIB tokens burned has reached an impressive total of 410.72 trillion. The reduction in supply is a key factor that could potentially drive up the value of the SHIB token. Furthermore, if the demand remains steady or increases, it could be of higher benefit.
For context, in economics, a reduction in supply with constant or rising demand typically leads to price appreciation. This principle applies to cryptocurrencies, including SHIB. The recent developments have generated a wave of optimism within the Shiba Inu community.

SHIB Price Tumbles
Shiba Inu slumped below the crucial support of $0.000024 today, distancing from the key resistance level of $0.000025. As of writing, the SHIB price lost 3.30% to $0.00002392 on Tuesday, June 4. Whilst, the meme crypto held a market capitalization of $14.09 billion.
However, the SHIB trading volume spiked 42.35% to $659.67 million in the past 24 hours. Though the burn rate has added optimism in the market, a rebound in Shiba Inu price can be noted only if the meme coin manages to successfully breakout from the $0.000025 level.
If the SHIB price surged past this level, it could possibly reach $0.000030 or even $0.000050. In addition, if the bullish momentum holds, Shiba Inu could attain the long-eyed $0.0001 target, which some critics find impossible to achieve. However, the derivatives data painted a different picture.
According to Coinglass, the SHIB futures open interest declined 13.95% to $89.77 million, indicating a diminishing interest among derivatives traders. Furthermore, Shiba Inu long liquidations soared to nearly $1 million with no substantial short liquidations, indicating further declines owing to the sell-off.

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.

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.

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.
