Shiba Inu’s enormous circulating supply is the biggest roadblock to any meaningful price surge — and the numbers make that painfully clear. Why supply matters SHIB currently has roughly 589 trillion tokens in circulation. If each token were to trade at $0.001, Shiba Inu’s market cap would need to be astronomically large — unless the circulating supply is slashed dramatically. The math Assuming SHIB’s market cap returns to its previous peak of about $13 billion, a $0.001 token price would require a circulating supply of roughly 13 trillion tokens (13,000,000,000,000). That implies burning almost 576 trillion SHIB from today’s supply — a reduction on a staggeringly large scale. Why that’s unlikely Current burn activity is nowhere near the level needed to remove hundreds of trillions of tokens in any short timeframe. The most dramatic supply cut in SHIB’s history was Ethereum co‑founder Vitalik Buterin’s 2021 action: he received roughly half of the initial supply, burned about 90% of it, and donated the remainder to charity. That one-off event materially tightened supply and helped fuel price gains — but replicating something on that scale is not realistic. Beyond burns: adoption matters Shiba Inu lead developer Shytoshi Kusama has repeatedly warned that token burns alone aren’t a silver bullet. For a sustainable price rally, supply reduction needs to be paired with broader adoption and real utility — otherwise reduced supply simply shifts the same demand across fewer tokens without guaranteeing lasting price momentum. Where SHIB stands now SHIB remains far below its all‑time high of $0.00008616, trading more than 91% lower. Given the current supply dynamics and burn rates, hitting $0.001 would require an unprecedented and impractical shrinkage of circulating tokens, plus a meaningful pickup in adoption and demand. Bottom line A $0.001 SHIB is theoretically possible on paper, but only if massive token burns — on a scale not seen since Vitalik’s 2021 action — are combined with genuine growth in use and demand. Without both elements, the token’s huge supply will continue to cap its upside. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
