Shiba Inu Burn Rate Rockets 500% in Rare Upside for Price

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has recorded a massive surge in burn rate within the last 24 hours. Shibburn, the platform that tracks the metric, reveals that this deflationary mechanism spiked by 500.68% as 10,491,803 SHIB were sent to dead wallets.

Is massive SHIB supply limiting impact of burn mechanism?

Notably, this burn occurred as a single transaction with all 10.49 million SHIB incinerated in the only activity within the time frame. It is currently unclear if a whale carried out the burn in a move to support price action.

The Shiba Inu community has always relied on the burn mechanism as a deflationary tool to stabilize the price. The idea is to reduce the circulating supply with the hopes that the scarcity created could trigger a price rebound on the market.

With the recent burn activity, the total Shiba Inu wiped out permanently from the initial supply now stands at 410.75 trillion SHIB.

Despite this massive volume that has been sent to dead wallets, the total Shiba Inu supply remains 589.25 trillion SHIB. Out of this, 585,412,056,301,922 SHIB are in the circulating supply, while the remaining 3.833 trillion SHIB have been staked.

The massive volume of Shiba Inu that remains in circulation has caused some to argue that the burn mechanism has not produced anticipated results. Regardless of the volume incinerated, the process does very little to lift Shiba Inu out of a declining phase.

The dog-themed meme coin has been battling bearish conditions for a while, and despite repeated burn activity, it added a zero. Some consider the burn activity as statistical noise, given that the process is neither structured nor systemic. It is left to the discretion of the community, so it is not effectively reducing the total SHIB supply.

Additionally, even when burn activity is carried out, and there is no buying pressure, the price is unlikely to climb. This sort of defeats the purpose of the mechanism.

Shiba Inu price in spotlight

As of press time, Shiba Inu has shed 5.1% of its value and exchanges hands at $0.000007181. 

The meme coin slipped from a daily high of $0.000007571 to its current level as billions of SHIB were moved to exchanges, signaling increased sell pressure.

Meanwhile, the on-chain activity from ecosystem whales has reduced significantly. These holders are critical to upward price movement for the meme coin, and their pullback has negatively impacted the price outlook.

Another bearish indicator is the plunge in open interest within the last 48 hours. Shiba Inu investors are not confident enough to bet on the meme coin as open interest dipped by over 8%.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
