SHIB’s 17,134% Burn Spike Came With Just $17 in Burns

SHIB’s 24-hour burn rate rose 17,134.60%, according to Shibburn’s October 3 dashboard. The reported total was 2,976,589 SHIB, worth about $17.

The percentage made the move look large. The amount behind it was not. One transfer accounted for 2,622,378 SHIB, or nearly 88% of the reported daily burn, and it came from an address labelled Coinbase.

One Transfer Drove the Spike

Shibburn records put the Coinbase-labelled transfer at 00:03:11 UTC on October 3. It sent 2,622,378 SHIB, worth $14.97, to 0x95ad...c4ce. That is not the 0xdead...2069 burn address used by another transaction in the report.

The available evidence does not confirm that the transfer reduced SHIB’s circulating supply. A transfer from an exchange-associated address to another address is not necessarily a burn. The distinction matters because temporary routing or exchange activity can raise a burn tracker’s 24-hour figure without delivering a comparable supply reduction.

Two smaller transactions accounted for most of the remainder. An address labelled Robinhood sent 179,289 SHIB to the 0xdead...2069 burn address, while a separate wallet burned 174,923 SHIB, according to Shibburn’s records.

The Dollar Volume Remains Small

Shibburn’s live counter later showed 2,797,301 SHIB burned over a different 24-hour window, valued at $16. The figure was below the 2,976,589 SHIB cited in the report because the two readings did not cover the same window.

The wider records are similarly modest in dollar terms. Shibburn showed 102,767,542 SHIB burned over seven days, worth about $599. Its 30-day total was 421,865,854 SHIB, valued at about $2,300.

Those daily changes also sit against larger burns earlier in the period. Records include burns of 47,419,390 SHIB and 19,171,143 SHIB on September 29, followed by 16,005,732 SHIB on September 30. Each of those transfers exceeded the approximately 2.98 million SHIB behind the reported 17,134.60% increase.

Coinbase was the largest burner in Shibburn’s 30-day ranking, with 17 transactions and 159,269,402 SHIB valued at $900.87. The spike was therefore concentrated in the same address label that dominates the longer ranking.

The Price Setup Was Not Positive

SHIB traded at $0.00000572 when CoinGape published its analysis, down 2.30% over the report’s measurement window. Its market capitalization was about $3.37 billion.

The market read was neutral to slightly bearish, with an RSI of 49 and a MACD below both its signal line and zero. Exchange reserves pointed in the same direction. A separate report put SHIB’s available supply across supported exchanges at 88,076,900,000,000 SHIB on October 3, its highest level since around June 3, after a netflow of more than 288 billion SHIB.

The burn spike did not establish a recovery by itself. The percentage was driven by a low base, the absolute burn was worth about $17, and the largest transfer was not confirmed as a supply-reducing burn. A sustained move through the cited $0.000006 resistance level would provide clearer price confirmation. A four-hour close below $0.00000550 would weaken the setup and put $0.000005 back in focus.
