Shiba Inu price is on a strong bearish trend, with price indicators recording losses in all time frames. The highly popular meme token now threatens to add an additional zero to its value if the current bear run continues for much longer. Even with Shibarium, SHIB’s layer-2, reaching the milestone of 1 billion transactions recently, the token’s price has not responded positively to this milestone.

Falling Shiba Inu Price Affects Holder Profitability

According to current data, SHIB is down 4.6% in the past 24 hours, 14.7% over seven days and a substantial 54.9% over the past year.

The current context for the SHIB price appears tough for the majority of investors. Based on on-chain analytics, 62% of SHIB investors are at the moment in a loss, while merely 34% are in profit and 4% are breaking even as per IntoTheBlock data.

SHIB has fallen 85.9% from its all-time high of $0.00008616 on October 28, 2021, over three years ago. This extended period of decline has made many of the investors who bought during the bull run in 2021 underwater on their holdings.

The token reflects a high ownership concentration with 74% of SHIB owned by major holders. The concentration may be behind price volatility. This is due to the fact that the moves by the large holders tend to have disproportionate impacts on the market. Major volume trading in the last week has hit $184.02 million which indicates sustained activity even as the price goes down.

Shibarium Milestone Fails To Reverse Trend

Despite Shiba Inu’s layer-2 scaling solution, Shibarium recently achieved a major milestone of 1 billion transactions. However, this accomplishment has not translated into positive price action for SHIB. This disconnect between ecosystem development and token price shows the current market’s focus on overall trends rather than project-specific achievements.

Shibarium is a key component of the Shiba Inu ecosystem that focuses on reducing transaction fees, increasing processing speed, and enabling more advanced applications within the SHIB ecosystem.

The continued negative price action despite reaching such a substantial transaction milestone raises questions about what catalysts might eventually reverse SHIB’s downward trend.

Will Shiba Inu Token Burns Aid In Price Pump?

The Shiba Inu community has historically highlighted token burns as one possible method of driving scarcity and price support. Recent burn behavior has been spotty and inadequate to have any real effect on the enormous Shiba Inu token supply.

After a recent spike in burn rate of more than 12,000%, the last 24 hours have seen the burn rate decline by 60%. During this period, only 37.6 million SHIB tokens were removed from circulation as per Shibburn data.

Token burns continue to be a mainstay narrative among the SHIB community. However, the volume of burning has to rise in order to have an effect on the token’s supply that can be measured. The 17.88% hike in trading volume in the last 24 hours to $311.14 million gives some indications of market action. This potentially could be being driven by the larger holders stockpiling at lower prices.
