Shiba Inu burn rate drops 88% as crypto markets await Federal Reserve rate decision. SHIB trades up 6% weekly while Coinbase launches perpetual futures.
The Shiba Inu burn rate has experienced a 88.07% decline over the past 24 hours. This sharp drop comes as cryptocurrency traders adopt a wait-and-see approach before critical central bank meetings this week.

Data from Shibburn reveals that only 4,103,799 SHIB tokens were removed from circulation in the last day. This figure represents a substantial decrease from the previous day's burn of 34,397,753 SHIB tokens. The reduced burning activity has directly contributed to the steep decline in the daily burn rate.
Despite the daily setback, the weekly burn rate tells a different story. Over the past seven days, 96,746,621 SHIB tokens have been burned. This marks a 3.45% increase compared to the previous week. The ongoing burn mechanism continues to reduce the total supply of Shiba Inu, which now stands at 589,246,109,943,196 SHIB tokens.

Central Bank Decisions Take Center Stage
Cryptocurrency markets opened slightly higher on Monday, tracking gains in Asian equity markets. Investors are positioning themselves ahead of several major central bank policy announcements scheduled for this month.
The Federal Reserve will announce its policy decision on December 10. Market participants have largely priced in expectations for a 25-basis-point interest rate cut. The CME FedWatch tool indicates that traders are assigning an 87% probability to this outcome when the central bank wraps up its two-day meeting.
Additional central bank meetings will follow in quick succession. The Bank of England is scheduled to announce its policy decision on December 18. The Bank of Japan will conclude the year with its policy statement on December 19.
These monetary policy decisions carry significant weight for cryptocurrency markets. Interest rate changes affect liquidity conditions and risk appetite across all asset classes. Lower rates typically support higher valuations for speculative assets like cryptocurrencies.

SHIB Price Shows Weekly Gains
Shiba Inu traded at $0.000008495 at the time of reporting, suggesting a 0.81% gain in the last 24 hours. The token has registered a 6% gain over the past week, reflecting broader positive sentiment in cryptocurrency markets.

However, market observers note that caution remains prevalent among traders. Without new catalysts or increased liquidity, the potential for price declines persists. The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting could serve as a catalyst for renewed market activity.
Coinbase Derivatives launched 24/7 trading for monthly altcoin futures on December 5. This development allows traders continuous access to various cryptocurrency assets, including Shiba Inu. The round-the-clock trading capability removes previous time restrictions on futures contracts.
The exchange plans to expand its Shiba Inu offerings further. U.S. Perpetual Style Futures for SHIB will become available on December 18. These perpetual contracts differ from traditional futures by having no expiration date. Traders can maintain positions indefinitely without rolling over contracts.

Dogecoin (DOGE) — The original meme-coin. Known for being the OG, with a large community behind it.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) — Started as a meme coin too; over time it’s tried to build an ecosystem around itself (with various projects, burns etc.).
PEPE (PEPE) — A more recent meme-coin riding the same wave of community hype and “internet meme culture.”

All three belong to what’s called “meme coins” — cryptocurrencies that draw much of their value from hype, social media interest, and community sentiment rather than deep technical use or utility.

📈 Where They Stand — Live Snapshot & Recent Trends

PEPE

PEPE is currently trading around ₨0.001339 (PKR).
Market-wide, PEPE has been one of the most volatile — its price cycles depend heavily on community buzz, social media hype, and speculative trading.
Because total supply is enormous (meme-coin norm), even big percentage gains may not translate into huge per-token value — meaning risk and reward are both high.

SHIB (Shiba Inu)

SHIB hasn’t had explosive gains lately; but there’s some activity around burn (token “burning”, i.e. removing tokens from circulation) to reduce supply, which supporters hope may create upward pressure on price.
Still, like all meme coins, SHIB remains sensitive to overall crypto-market mood: even supply reduction can't guarantee consistent growth.

DOGE (Dogecoin)

DOGE is considered the “established veteran” among meme coins. Its brand, community recognition, and relatively wider acceptance give it some staying power.
Because of legacy and widespread recognition, DOGE tends to have more stability compared to newer or lesser-known meme coins — though it’s still far from “safe.”

💡 What People Are Saying (Community & Analysts)

From crypto-community chatter & analysts:

Some PEPE holders believe it could “moon again.” For example, a user recently wrote:

“$PEPE surged over 50%. Other meme tokens are also flashing green…”

Others are far more skeptical. Another user said they sold all their PEPE, arguing:

“Back in the day it used to follow ETH closely and spike hard, but now it only moves a little and then dumps even more — just a worthless shitcoin at this point.”

On SHIB vs PEPE debate: some think SHIB remains more “solid” because of its longer history, while PEPE is viewed by others as a high-risk, high-speculation play.

A recent academic-style analysis (on memecoins generally) argues that these coins — including DOGE, SHIB, PEPE — are “intermediate-risk” compared to stable/utility coins, because they are heavily shaped by social-media sentiment and speculative flows, not by real utility.

📉 Risks You Should Know — Because This Is NOT “Set and Forget”

Extreme volatility: Meme coins’ value can swing drastically — up or down — based on social media hype, market sentiment, or influential people’s posts/tweets. What goes up fast can crash faster.
Huge supply (especially PEPE & SHIB): Even if price doubles, the total number of coins is huge, so gains per coin may remain small.
Lack of real utility: These coins are mostly speculative. There’s little in many meme coins that guarantees long-term sustainability (unlike utility tokens or “real” cryptocurrencies with strong fundamentals).
Market-wide crypto risk: When the overall crypto market declines (for example due to regulatory news or macroeconomic factors), meme coins tend to get hit hardest.
Psychological pressure: Hype and FOMO (“fear of missing out”) drive many to invest — which can lead to emotional decisions and losses if price turns negative.

🔮 What Could Happen — My “Realistic but Hopeful” Scenario

Short-to-medium term:

DOGE may remain relatively stable, maybe see small gains if overall market improves.
SHIB could benefit moderately if burn campaigns and ecosystem developments gain traction — but massive gains seem unlikely.
PEPE might see sporadic surges (if hype returns), but also big dips. It’s a “moon-or-bust” kind of coin.

Long term (2–5 years):

Meme-coin status means none of these are guaranteed winners. If crypto market matures and utility coins dominate, DOGE/SHIB/PEPE could become mostly nostalgic — or disappear in relevance.
On the flip side: if hype cycles return, or one of these coins (or a brand-new meme coin) captures public imagination again, there could be surprise rallies.

So my take: treat DOGE as a “fun but semi-stable” experiment; treat SHIB as a “holder’s hope” with some potential but limited upside; treat PEPE as a pure speculative gamble — only invest what you are okay losing.

✅ Final Thoughts — What I’d Do If I Were Investing Today

If I were you and ready to risk: I’d hold a small portion in PEPE (for high-risk, high-reward chance), maybe a bit in SHIB (for medium-term hope), and consider DOGE only as a long-shot or hobby — but I wouldn’t bet big on any.

Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Meme coins are inherently risky; for many people they’re like playing the lottery.

If you want — I can build a table with 5-year “best case / worst case” predictions for DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE (with possible PKR values).
