14 Million $SHIB Burned, But Price Movement Hinges on Broader Market Trends

In a continued effort to bolster its tokenomics, the Shiba Inu ($SHIB) community has burned over 14 million tokens, permanently removing them from circulation. Token burning is a deflationary mechanism often used to reduce supply and potentially support price growth. However, experts caution that such moves alone are not enough to spark a price rally.

According to Shibburn.com, while token burns can create long-term scarcity, price movements depend heavily on broader market dynamics, not just supply-side interventions. “Burns make headlines, but price is primarily driven by sentiment, demand, and macro trends,” one analyst noted.

Analysts believe $SHIB could reach $0.00003 if Ethereum ($ETH) climbs to $4,000, citing a strong historical correlation between ETH surges and altcoin rallies. A 2024 Coinpedia report observed similar movements post-Bitcoin halving, where liquidity often flows into high-beta assets like memecoins once Ethereum gains momentum.

Despite the burn, caution is warranted. A 2020 ScienceDirect study on crypto markets found that momentum—not burns or reversals—is the most consistent driver of returns across digital assets. The study emphasized that assets showing upward momentum tend to outperform, while supply-based strategies alone offer mixed results.

The Shiba Inu ecosystem continues to innovate with new developments, including Shibarium and decentralized applications, adding utility to the token. Still, as with most altcoins, $SHIB’s future will largely depend on macro trends, investor sentiment, and market liquidity.

With the next Bitcoin halving cycle underway, eyes remain on whether $SHIB will ride the expected altcoin wave—or remain at the mercy of broader market forces.
