- Shibarium network activity jumped 54%, renewing interest in SHIB token burns.
- Burning 20 trillion SHIB annually could theoretically push the price to $0.001 in 25 years.
- Without faster burn mechanics and broader ecosystem support, that goal remains unlikely.
Shibarium‘s network activity has surged 54% this month, igniting new hope among investors that major token burns may be on the horizon. Despite SHIB trading mostly sideways at around $0.00001325 for much of the year, the community remains laser-focused on reducing its massive 589 trillion token supply. With so much SHIB still in circulation, many believe only aggressive, sustained burns can pave the way to meaningful price gains.
Can 20 Trillion SHIB Burns Per Year Really Move the Needle?
Theoretically, burning 20 trillion SHIB annually could make the elusive $0.001 target possible. Over 25 years, that would eliminate 500 trillion tokens—nearly the entire current supply—leaving only 89 trillion in circulation. In such a scenario, SHIB’s market cap would soar past $85 billion, more than 11 times today’s level. But there’s a catch: even with Shibarium’s recent growth, the network still isn’t equipped to handle this kind of burn load on its own.
Practical Limitations on Burn Mechanics
Reaching those ambitious burn targets would require much more than Shibarium’s current burn throughput. It would involve scaling up infrastructure, adding third-party tools, and launching entirely new strategies beyond current on-chain mechanics. Without significant innovation and broader ecosystem participation, achieving consistent 20 trillion annual burns remains a pipe dream.
SHIB’s Path to $0.001: Hope or Hype?
Unless developers step up with more efficient burn protocols—and third-party apps get involved—SHIB’s dream of hitting $0.001 looks out of reach. While the Shibarium surge is encouraging, it’s only the beginning of what needs to be a multi-year, multi-pronged push to shrink the token’s supply fast enough to spark real price action.
