More investors may also stabilize demand, which could support the price during future market swings.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the team disclosed that the burn rate ratio has soared by triple digits, daily active addresses have climbed past 150,000, and trading volume spiked to almost $130 million.<\/p>\n<p>The burning mechanism is specifically important for a potential price appreciation. The mechanism, adopted in 2022, aims to reduce SHIB\u2019s overall supply, making the coin scarcer and more valuable over time. The past 24 hours brought another rise in the burn rate, though not nearly as large as the one mentioned above. Just under 3.3 million SHIB have been removed from circulation for the day, marking a modest 7% increase.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1436488\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1436488\" style=\"width: 1590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SHIB-Burn-Rate.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1436488\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=9999\" alt=\"SHIB Burn Rate\" width=\"1590\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=1081 1081w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=300,h=75 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=1024,h=258 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=768,h=193 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=90,h=23 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=150,h=38 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=1000,h=252 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=900,h=226 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=800,h=201 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=700,h=176 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=600,h=151 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=500,h=126 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=400,h=101 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=200,h=50 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/0cd50614-bfbe-451e-4ba3-3930561dea00\/w=100,h=25 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1590px) 100vw, 1590px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1436488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SHIB Burn Rate, Source: shibburn.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The total amount of coins destroyed over the years inches toward 411 trillion, worth roughly $7.35 billion.

Nonetheless, this hasn\u2019t been enough to shift the broader trend, as investors continue sending more tokens from self-custody back to centralized platforms, thereby increasing immediate selling pressure. According to CryptoQuant, the total SHIB exchange reserves recently soared to approximately 82.2 trillion, the highest level since January.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1436491\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1436491\" style=\"width: 1532px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/SHIB-Exchange-Reserves-.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1436491 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=9999\" alt=\"SHIB Exchange Reserves\" width=\"1532\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=1532 1532w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=300,h=138 300w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=1024,h=470 1024w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=768,h=352 768w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=90,h=41 90w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=150,h=69 150w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=1400,h=642 1400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=1200,h=551 1200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=1000,h=459 1000w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=900,h=413 900w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=800,h=367 800w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=700,h=321 700w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=600,h=275 600w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=500,h=229 500w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=400,h=184 400w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=200,h=92 200w, https:\/\/imagedelivery.net\/m229SatnEWUWJyPg8tcYvg\/75768f25-765d-4dcb-eb4f-1f2ad57bcd00\/w=100,h=46 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1532px) 100vw, 1532px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1436491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">SHIB Exchange Reserves, Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another factor that may hamper a decisive revival of the token is the stalled progress on Shibarium.
