No single dated event in the next 90 days.
No new SHIB can ever be made. Burns are tiny.
SHIB is the Shiba Inu meme coin on Ethereum: 589.24T coins circulate, almost all of them unlocked. No code can make more.
Sell pressure. None. SHIB has no mint, no vesting and no team share. The 54.9B SHIB the US government seized moved wallets but was not sold.
Buy pressure. Holders and apps burned 4.56B SHIB in 90 days, 3.11B of it in one late-July rush. That is under 0.001% of supply.
Net. Net, supply shrinks by a hair: about 0.00% in 90 days, and the same next.
SHIB has no way to make new coins. The token code can only create coins once, at launch in August 2020, when all 1 quadrillion were made. Today it can move and burn SHIB, nothing else: no owner, no mint, no upgrade.
Nothing ever vested. At launch half of all SHIB went into a trading pool and half to Vitalik Buterin; there was no team, investor or sale share, so there is no unlock calendar.
The team publishes no treasury address and no SHIB sale was seen this window. We watch the launch wallet (50.5M SHIB, unmoved) and a small leftover of about 780M SHIB that the circulating count leaves out with no known owner. Bigger wallets are already counted as circulating, so their moves add nothing.
About 54.9B SHIB seized by the US government in the FTX case moved to a new wallet on Jul 15 2026 and has not been sold. Those coins are already counted as circulating, so even a sale would add no new supply.
No one runs a SHIB buyback. A burner contract that uses trading-pool fees is counted once, in the burns row below.
Shibarium, the SHIB side chain, burns part of its fees: about 173.9M SHIB went to dead addresses on Shibarium this window. Those are copies of SHIB living on that chain, and the coins locked on Ethereum to back them did not move, so the main supply did not shrink.
No team or treasury bought SHIB this window. The team funds itself from its own products and does not report SHIB purchases.
No new lock. The biggest staking vault fell from about 3.54T to 3.46T SHIB, and staked SHIB counts as circulating anyway.
4.56B SHIB left for good: sent to two dead addresses, sent into the token contract itself (it can never come out), or burned in the code. 3.11B came from one pool-fee burner, almost all in the Jul 25–28 2026 trading rush; it has been idle since Sep 3 2026, so we count none of it ahead. Holders and apps burned the other 1.45B, steady each month, which is our next-90-day figure. Even all of it is under 0.001% of supply.
Two sides: how much people want SHIB right now, and how much buying could come later.
This part is based on social media. It shows how hot SHIB is right now. A better rank means more people are talking about it.
Today, people are talking about SHIB for two reasons:
In mid-October 2026, Japanese exchange Rakuten Wallet said it will give physical Shiba Inu coins to SHIB holders at its investment seminar on Nov 3 2026. The coins are keepsakes, not crypto, and guests must show SHIB in the app. People ask if this brings new Japanese buyers to SHIB.
On Oct 17 2026, SHIB traded about $33 million in one day, the lowest daily amount in the past 12 months. The price sat near $0.0000050, down about 7% in a week. People ask if this calm means sellers are tired, or that buyers have left.
Checked Oct 17 2026
Based on the law of supply and demand, the long-run signal for Shiba Inu is negative. As of Oct 17 2026, score 4.5/10, Shiba Inu faces 0.00% new supply over 90 days, with demand moderate (3/5). Shiba Inu's price drivers: 0 ▲ price up, 1 ▼ price down.
Shibarium, SHIB's own network, looks like the weak spot: money locked there is down about 97% from its peak. Demand is only moderate (3/5 on Oct 13 2026), and 10 wallets hold about 39% of the SHIB not burned, so a few big sellers can likely move the price a lot. Our supply-and-demand read for Shiba Inu stays negative.
It would take 1,932 times today's value: 1 cent × Shiba Inu's coins in the market = about $5.89 trillion, against $3.05B now (Oct 17 2026). Shiba Inu's supply barely changes in the next year (0.00%), so the whole move would have to come from demand. Supply and demand still read negative for Shiba Inu in the long run.
Today the signal is negative. Supply and demand would point the other way for Shiba Inu if new supply jumps (today 0.00% in 90 days), or demand falls from moderate, or Shibarium health keeps pointing down.
On our framework Shiba Inu scores 4.5/10 (Oct 17 2026), with supply 1.5/5 (meme coin) and demand 3/5. In the next year Shiba Inu's supply changes 0.00%, so the long-run signal reads negative.
The law of supply and demand points to one window for Shiba Inu: low new supply, high demand, drivers pointing up. Where Shiba Inu stands today: 0.00% new supply in 90 days (meme coin), demand moderate (3/5), drivers 0 ▲ / 1 ▼.
Shiba Inu has 2 price drivers today (0 ▲ price up, 1 ▼ price down). ▼ Shibarium health: Money locked on Shibarium is down about 97% from its peak. • Top wallets: 10 wallets hold about 39% of SHIB not burned.
Shiba Inu reads negative at 4.5/10; Bitcoin reads positive at 8.5/10 (Oct 17 2026). On supply and demand, Shiba Inu looks weaker than Bitcoin today.
Every answer here applies basic economic theory — the law of supply and demand — to this coin's data. It is not financial advice. How we read every coin →
We look at two things, half each: supply and demand. Fewer new coins mean less selling pressure. A meme coin scores 1.5 at most on supply: its team got its coins for free, so no new supply does not make it safe. We also show each coin's age, with a warning when it is younger than 1 year. Demand looks at how much people want the coin now and how much buying could come later. Price Drivers (Beta) are the 2 or 3 things that can move one coin's price that supply and demand miss; they have no score. SHIB supply is not growing (0.00% in the next 90 days), so it shows in green. Zero or falling supply is always green, any growth is red.
One email before each big supply event, and the day our verdict changes. Nothing else. You can watch 2 coins for free.
