Shiba Inu (SHIB), the popular dog-themed cryptocurrency, surged 17.7% in a single day and has climbed 30% over the past week, marking its strongest performance since April 1. Analysts attribute the rally to a remarkable spike in its token burn rate—soaring over 7,400%—and the corresponding reduction in its circulating supply.

Analysts Eye Higher Gains

Prominent crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently projected SHIB could hit $0.000037, representing a 54% rise from its prior value. Meanwhile, analyst Javon Marks posits an even more ambitious target of $0.000081, which would mark a staggering 200% increase.

Burn Rate and Ecosystem Growth

Data from Shiburn highlights a 984.26% jump in SHIB token burns over the last seven days, reducing the circulating supply to 589.2 trillion tokens. Additionally, Shibarium, Shiba Inu’s Layer-2 blockchain, has processed over 541 million transactions since its launch. Shibarium’s design integrates with the Shiba Inu ecosystem by converting transaction fees, denominated in BONE tokens, into SHIB, which are subsequently burned.

BONE, the ecosystem’s governance token, plays a crucial role by enabling decentralized decision-making through the Doggy DAO. It also functions as a gas fee token, ensuring Shibarium’s operational stability and incentivizing network validators and delegators.
