The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) plunged 8.9% overnight, trading at $0.00001723 at press time, per CoinMarketCap.
The popular meme cryptocurrency is also down almost 19% over the past week, touching the levels last seen in October 2021.
With a market cap slightly above $9.5 billion, Shiba Inu is now the market’s 15th most-valued cryptocurrency.
The asset’s latest price action comes despite the community’s recent efforts to keep SHIB more scarce.
About two weeks ago, the team behind the Shiba Inu launched a new burning mechanism designed to decrease the token’s circulating supply while rewarding holders with a yield-generating token.
Since the launch, the community used the new burning portal to destroy more than 26.3 billion SHIB from the coin’s initial supply, worth about $460,000 at current prices.
And according to the tracking website Shibburn, the "SHIB Army" has burnt more than 200 million tokens in the past 24 hours alone.
The largest meme coin Dogecoin (DOGE) is meanwhile down 3.83% over the past day, changing hands at $0.1211 at the time of writing.
DOGE is the industry’s 12th-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization and is now trading at levels last seen on March 22, data from CoinMarketCap shows.
Elsewhere, the broader crypto market carnage has intensified over the course of the last day.
On Sunday, Bitcoin (BTC) fell below $35,000 for the first time since January, and the leading cryptocurrency has dropped another 3.g% in the past day, currently trading at a 10-month low of $33,375, according to CoinMarketCap.
Bitcoin fell below $35,000 on Sunday morning after declining almost 4% over the past 24 hours and nearly 9% over the last seven days. The market cap of the largest cryptocurrency tumbled to $658 billion, according to CoinMarketCap data. On March 28, that figure stood at more than $900 billion. The downward pressure began after the Federal Reserve announced it would raise interest rates, erasing the brief recovery Bitcoin enjoyed earlier last week. Institutional investors began pulling assets out...
Ethereum is down 4.59% over the same period of time—the second-largest cryptocurrency is now changing hands below $2,500, the level last visited at the end of January.
At the time of writing, the market cap of the cumulative crypto market is standing just above $1.5 trillion.

There’s a wry humor in the fact that Bitcoin has at times been very closely correlated with traditional markets. Bitcoiners generally prefer that BTC not have a high correlation with traditional assets, like stocks and bonds. After all, one of the core tenets of the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization—$379 billion as of this writing, according to CoinGecko—is that it bypasses traditional finance. That’s why self-avowed Bitcoin fans, like Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss,...
People moving on from the “speculative bubble” that is crypto, NFTs, and meme stocks is a positive sign for the U.S. economy, according to Wall Street heavyweight Ken Griffin. Miami-based trading firm Citadel Securities’ founder said in a Wednesday interview with CNBC that government handouts in 2020, in response to the COVID-19 lockdowns, led to investors pumping their cash into “speculative assets” like NFTs, crypto, and meme stocks. So-called meme stocks, shares of companies that gain a fol...
Institutional investor Bitcoin sentiment turned pessimistic on Friday as short Bitcoin inflows hit an all-time high, according to a new report from CoinShares. Short Bitcoin funds give investors exposure to derivatives, like futures and options, that bet against the price of Bitcoin. While investors can enter into those contracts directly, the CoinShares report tracks the flow of funds for exchange-traded products. By the end of last week, short Bitcoin investment products hit an all-time high...
