Market Data Reflects Supply Stability

According to on-chain data provided by Santiment, Shiba Inu is trading at $0.000013 at a market capitalization of $7.41 billion. The inflation rate of the token, which soared to 1.76% in May, is currently at 0.0027%, meaning traders will face less pressure from supply. Such shifts reflect less stormy market dynamics, with SHIB continually moving in and out of rallies and sharp corrections since March 2025, with the highest point of around $0.000017 in early May and then sharp downfalls to the areas around and below $0.000012.

SHIB attempted a breakout at the same level in July, briefly surpassing $0.000015, but retreated as its market cap dropped below $8.0 billion. With inflation nearly at zero, volatility continues to shrink, and prices are tightening. Such levels will decide if SHIB regains bullish momentum or slips into deeper correction zones.

Liquidity and Supply Near Limits

Data from CoinMarketCap shows SHIB is trading at a 2.68% yearly decline. The market cap stands at $7.43 billion, supported by a fully diluted valuation of $7.41 billion. Trading volume increased 42.67% in the last 24 hours to $154.67 million, lifting the volume-to-market cap ratio to 2.06%. SHIB’s circulating supply stands at 589.24 trillion, just below the maximum of 589.55 trillion, leaving little room for additional inflation.

The one-year chart shows a December 2024 high of over $0.000030, followed by a decline in early 2025. As supply remains almost depleted and liquidity is steady, the critical resistance point at $0.000015 may spell out whether SHIB gets back on the bullish movement or continues to be squeezed in its current wedge.
