- Shiba Inu’s burn rate has surged, and the highly anticipated launch of the TREAT token has been confirmed.

Shiba Inu has commenced 2025 on a high note. This happens after Shiba Inu announced the highly anticipated launch of the TREAT token which has captured significant attention of enthusiasts and investors alike.
Additionally, Shiba Inu, whose total supply currently stands at approximately 589 trillion tokens, recorded an unprecedented 1500% surge in the SHIB burn rate.
SHIB Burn Rate Shoots Up 1500%
On Friday, Shiba Inu witnessed an extraordinary surge in its burn rate, with over 33 million tokens destroyed within 24 hours. This 1550% increase, reported by Shibburn, underscores the community’s commitment to reducing SHIB’s circulating supply. Over the past week, 44.03 million SHIB tokens have been permanently removed from circulation, fueling optimism about the token’s price potential.
The burn mechanism, a critical component of the digital asset’s deflationary strategy, aims to bolster demand by limiting supply. This surge in the burn rate has reignited speculation about SHIB’s ability to reach the coveted $0.001 price target this month. Analysts highlight that breaking the key resistance level of $0.000025 is pivotal for further upward momentum.
TREAT Token Launch Confirmed
Adding to the excitement, theShiba Inu team has confirmed the launch of the TREAT token, scheduled for January 2025. Announced via TREAT’s official X account, the token is poised to play a crucial role in Shiba Inu’s quest for full decentralization. Although an exact launch date has not been disclosed, the confirmation ends years of speculation and delays.

First introduced in 2022, TREAT has been characterized as a cornerstone of Shiba Inu’s ecosystem. Its roles include powering advanced features such as WOOF Wars: Farming 2.0, enabling governance through veTREAT (vote escrowed TREAT), and integrating into SHIB Pay, a cutting-edge on-chain payment solution. The token also governs Shiba Inu’s innovation-focused Network State, opening avenues for strategic investments and advanced functionality.
Shiba Inu’s enigmatic lead developer, Shytoshi Kusama, described TREAT as a “capstone and key” to achieving perpetual decentralization. He plans to delve deeper into the token’s utility and ecosystem role during his weekly podcast. Kusama’s discussions will likely clarify TREAT’s long-term impact on Shiba Inu’s growth and success.
