Shiba Inu's burn rate soars 900% as trading activity explodes
Shiba Inu's burn rate has jumped a staggering 869.74% over the past 24 hours, according to Shibburn data, with nearly 5.89 million SHIB tokens permanently removed from circulation.
This surge coincides with a massive uptick in trading activity: SHIB derivatives volume rose 25.34% to $586.29 million, while open interest climbed 13.5% to $287.41 million, per CoinGlass.
The spike in burn activity suggests growing community efforts to reduce SHIB's circulating supply — now standing at 584.57 trillion tokens, out of a total supply of 589.25 trillion. Since its inception, Shiba Inu has burned over 410 trillion tokens, shrinking its initial 1 quadrillion supply by more than 40%.
In crypto, "burning" refers to permanently removing tokens from circulation by sending them to unrecoverable wallet addresses. This deflationary tactic is designed to boost scarcity, theoretically increasing the token's value over time — especially in high-volume trading environments like SHIB's current derivatives boom.
Derivatives data further shows increasing bullish sentiment. On OKX, the long/short ratio has climbed to 2.27, signaling more traders are betting on price gains. At the same time, liquidations ('rekt' stats) show more short positions getting wiped out — with $467.84K in long positions liquidated over 24 hours, compared to $269.44K in shorts.
At the time of writing, SHIB is up 2% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.00001479.

Trump's Crypto Insider Just Turned $1 Million Into $100 Million -- And He's Not Done Yet
David Bailey the crypto insider who helped flip Donald Trump into a Bitcoin (BTC-USD) backer just pulled off one of the most aggressive plays in crypto investing. His hedge fund, 210k Capital, notched a 640% return over the past 12 months by backing small public companies that pivoted into Bitcoin holdings. Instead of chasing Bitcoin (or ETFs) directly, Bailey and his team have turned companies in sectors as far-flung as hospitality and web design into Bitcoin treasury vehicles. One example: UK-based Smarter Web, whose stock jumped roughly 14,000% after the shift. 210k Capital now manages $433 million, up from $44 million before the strategy caught fire and it's still scaling. The biggest winners so far? Metaplanet and Smarter Web. The fund invested early in both putting 780,000 into Smarter Web's pre-IPO round and $1 million into Metaplanet warrants just as each company pivoted to accumulate Bitcoin. Today, those positions are worth about 110 million and $106 million, respectively. Metaplanet's stock has surged over 9,000% since April 2024. Bailey is now on Metaplanet's advisory board, and Trump's son Eric is part of its strategic team. The Trump-Bailey orbit is tight Trump even gave Bailey a public shout-out during a major Bitcoin event last year. Since then, crypto-friendly sentiment has grown louder, and Bailey has been among the most aggressive at monetizing it through public markets. Looking ahead, 210k Capital isn't slowing down. Managing Partner Tyler Evans says the firm is actively pursuing 30 more Bitcoin proxy deals not just in the U.S. and Europe, but also in markets like India, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, where Bitcoin ETFs haven't launched yet. The goal? Embed with management, engineer the treasury pivot, and ride the wave. It's risky these stocks can be volatile, as seen when Smarter Web dropped 55% from its June peak but if early returns are any sign, this playbook could be one of the most profitable (and unconventional) in crypto's next chapter.

DOGE Rebounds Hard After Flash Dip, Bulls Target $0.27 Next
Dogecoin rebounded aggressively during the July 18 06:00 to July 19 05:00 session, recovering from steep mid-session losses to close with a sharp 8% gain. The token carved out a volatile $0.2267–$0.2560 range, bouncing off the $0.2267 session floor after heavy selling pressure and surging to tag $0.2561 in the final stretch. Bit Origin's $500 million treasury move and mounting DOGE ETF chatter helped restore confidence as volume surged above key thresholds throughout the recovery. What to Know DOGE bounces 8% in volatile trading, closing at $0.2533 after dipping as low as $0.2267 Volume spikes to 1.66 billion in final hour as bulls reclaim control and retake $0.25 resistance Bit Origin commits $500 million to DOGE treasury strategy; ETF speculation adds fuel with 80% approval odds by Sept. News Background Bit Origin announced a $500 million institutional allocation plan to build DOGE-denominated treasury reserves, marking the largest known corporate move into the meme coin to date. The announcement coincided with a broader resurgence in the memecoin market, which has gained $17 billion this month. Meanwhile, traders are pricing in an 80% chance of a DOGE ETF approval by September, according to prediction platform Polymarket. These developments come as DOGE breaks out from a 10-month consolidation phase. Price Action Summary The 24-hour session opened at $0.2437, before sellers dragged DOGE to $0.2267 around 20:00. Volume surged to 1.102 billion—well above the 873.9 million average—as whales defended key support levels. A sharp post-midnight reversal pushed DOGE to $0.2533, delivering a 7.7% rebound off session lows. In the final hour, DOGE traded within a tight 1.85% band between $0.2514 and $0.2561. Price hit session highs at 04:34 before retreating slightly on profit-taking. Notably, volume exploded to 1.66 billion during the rally and exceeded 45 million during the peak formation, signaling institutional participation. Technical Analysis Trading range: $0.2267–$0.2561 (12.94% intraday spread) Support: Established at $0.2267 on 1.1 billion volume surge during drawdown Resistance: Clean break of $0.2500; local top at $0.2561 before final pullback Volume Trends: Final-hour surge to 1.66 billion validates strength of recovery Short-term Momentum: Strong bounce suggests $0.2500 may flip to support Next Resistance: Analysts eye $0.2670 and $0.2825 zones if rally holds What Traders Are Watching DOGE's ability to hold above $0.25 will be key for any continuation higher. Traders are monitoring ETF headlines and broader memecoin sentiment, while breakout targets of $0.36 to $1.00 are now in play if institutional flows continue. The current volume profile supports short-term consolidation before a possible next leg up.
