u.today reports that Shiba Inu burns fell sharply to just $29, or 5.33 million tokens, in the last 24 hours. This daily burn rate represents a 24.95% decline from the previous day. Burns permanently remove tokens from circulation by sending them to inaccessible dead wallets.
Recent activity included a 2,357,000 SHIB burn from Binance and three transactions from Robinhood. The most recent burn saw 15,955 SHIB sent from Uniswap to dead wallets. Over the last seven days, 139.50 million SHIB were burned, marking a 76.73% increase in the weekly burn rate.
In the last 30 days, a total of 507.72 million SHIB tokens were burned. Coinbase contributed 35,590,107 SHIB across 17 transactions, while Robinhood burned 35,636,016 SHIB in 89 transactions. ShibLaunchpad also burned 29,399,920 SHIB in 34 transactions.
The market watches closely as the Clarity Act faces a Senate vote on Tuesday. SHIB is listed among 16 digital commodities alongside BTC, ETH, and XPR. Community member Mazrael noted this guidance could create a cleaner path for listings and ETFs.

Whalio data shows SHIB trading at $0.000005130 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.9%. This short-term buying pressure is higher than the 43.8% ratio seen over the last 4 hours. However, the 24-hour buy ratio sits lower at 44.6%, indicating fading momentum over the full day. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$3,448, suggesting immediate buying interest. In contrast, the 4-hour volume delta is negative at -$75,141, showing net selling pressure over a longer timeframe. The 24-hour volume delta is -$255,068, confirming that sellers have dominated the day's total volume.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 11th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SHIB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 48.0%, which is higher than today's 24-hour reading of 44.6%. This indicates that today's buying activity is weaker than the weekly norm. Spot volume for the day was $2,360,847, which is only 0.62 times the weekly average. The coin experienced a 7.2% price drop over the last 8 days. Net buying occurred on only 1 of the last 7 days, with a total volume delta of -$1,184,370. This suggests today is an unusual day of reduced buying interest compared to the recent weekly trend.
