Recent Burn Activity
Recent activity shows mixed short-term momentum. In the past 24 hours, 1,591,370 SHIB tokens were burned, marking an 81.28% drop compared to the previous day. The decline follows a temporary surge recorded on April 15.

Vitalik Buterin’s Historic Burn
In May 2021, Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin burned 90% of his SHIB holdings in a single transaction. The transfer removed over 410 trillion SHIB tokens. At the time, the burned tokens carried an estimated value of $7 billion.
Buterin had received half of SHIB’s total supply without prior consent and later decided to eliminate most of the allocation through a transfer to a dead address. The remaining 10% of his holdings went toward charitable causes. Analysts describe this transaction as one of the largest in crypto history, noting that no other burn transaction matches its scale. Experts say the 410 trillion SHIB burn remains unmatched when focusing on burn-specific transfers.
Current Market Status
At the time of writing, Shiba Inu was trading at $0.000000609, up 6.01% over the last 24 hours.
