Shiba Inu (SHIB)'s 24-hour token burn amount recorded $0, leading to an extremely unusual transaction cliff where the daily burn rate plunged by 100%. Investors' attention is focused on this development as a key deflationary mechanism, which had been driving price increases by reducing supply, has temporarily halted.

According to U.Today on September 18 (local time), data compiled by Shibburn, the Shiba Inu burn tracking platform, showed that the amount burned over the past 24 hours amounted to $0, causing the daily burn rate to plummet by 100%. Notably, the amount burned in the last 9 hours also stood at 0 SHIB, indicating that network activity has entered a stagnant phase with extreme contraction. On the Shibburn platform, the burn activity graph completely flattened at the $0 mark following the previous day's decline, and the burn rate drop was recorded at 100.00%.

The phenomenon of the burn metric showing $0 does not imply a permanent failure or complete cessation of the burn mechanism itself. It is explained that this means not a single valid transaction meeting the burn criteria was recorded on the network during the aggregation period. There is also a cautionary view that it is too early to conclude this as a final zero-burn event, as there remains a possibility for burn activity to resume and a rebound to occur before the daily close.

Compared to cumulative burn performance in previous periods, this 100% plunge is notable. Shiba Inu had burned a total of 44.6 million SHIB over the past 7 days and 413.44 million SHIB over the past 30 days, thereby reducing its circulating supply. However, with the weekly burn rate plummeting by 69.59% and the 30-day burn rate also decreasing by 88.05%, a general slowdown in burn activity has become evident since September.

Analysis suggests that as trading volumes across the virtual asset market contract, on-chain burn transactions are also experiencing a cool-down period. It is pointed out that for burn activity, which was considered a major driving force of the Shiba Inu ecosystem, to revive, a rebound in network usage along with new market catalysts are desperately needed.
