Shiba Inu Records Highest Daily Burn Rate Since November 2025

Shiba Inu has just witnessed a historic surge in its network activity as its burn rate has jumped to levels not seen since this year began.

With the Shiba Inu burn rate being consistently modest for most days of 2026, the dramatic surge in the metric seen in the last day has caught the attention of the crypto community, especially market analysts.

117.54 million $SHIB exit circulation in a day

The last 24 hours have seen Shiba Inu destroy the highest number of tokens it has ever destroyed this year, as data provided by Shibburn shows a rare four-digit surge in the metric in such a short period.

The data showed that about 117,540,000 $SHIB worth $517 has been permanently removed from circulation over the last day, causing a historic surge of 2,733% in its burn rate within the period.

While further data showed that 153.8 million $SHIB have been destroyed in the last seven days, this typically means that about 77% of all $SHIB tokens burned over the past week happened within the last 24 hours alone.

$SHIB burn rate hits 8-month high

While the last time such a large token burn happened was in November 2025, the rapid surge in the $SHIB burn rate marks its highest point in about eight months.

Although such four-digit increases in $SHIB‘s burn rate were a common occurrence during periods of strong market momentum last year, they have become uncommon so far this year as burn activity has remained subdued amid the consistent volatility witnessed in previous months.

Furthermore, the data showed that the majority of the burned tokens came from a single transaction carrying 109.66 million $SHIB, associated with a wallet on Robinhood.

Other smaller burns carrying hundreds and thousands of $SHIB came from the same exchange and the $SHIB community, which formed the total 117.54 million $SHIB that was torched in the last day.
