According to the data provided by the public blockchain data tracker Shibburn, which monitors SHIB burn transfers on the Ethereum chain and shares the details on its website and X account, over the past day, burn efforts have been quite successful, pushing millions of meme coins out of circulation.
Meanwhile, the SHIB price did not mirror the big burn rate increase and faced a sudden plunge after a more than 31% increase.

SHIB price 11% down
In an unexpected turn of events, the prominent meme-inspired cryptocurrency, SHIB, plunged more than 11% over the past 24 hours. After a marginal rebound, it is now changing hands at $0.00001522 after losing the $0.00001690 price level.
Notably, this price decline came after a mind-blowing price surge when SHIB soared by almost 31% on Monday, following the Bitcoin price trajectory.
The world’s primary cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, spiked by 10% on Monday, recovering from the 12% collapse it faced between Friday and Monday as the U.S. government unleashed trade war on Canada, Mexico and China. However, following the negotiations, Trump paused the 25% tariffs on Mexican imports and came to an agreement with Canada. Bitcoin responded immediately by going up. On Monday, it managed to regain the $102,000 level, but by now it has dropped 3.8% and is changing hands at $98,255, losing $100,000 again.
