Ethereum sees first consecutive week of deflationary issuance
More than $65 million worth of ETH is currently being burnt daily by the Ethereum network. The Ethereum network has seen its first consecutive week of negative supply issuance as bubbling markets drive persistently high transaction fees.With the highly anticipated London upgrade introducing a burn mechanism into Ethereum's fee market in early August, a small quantity of Ether has since been destroyed with every transaction executed on the network.With gas prices sustaining at high levels, Ethereum has seen seven consecutive days of deflationary issuance for the network, meaning that more....

A spike in gas fees and ETH burn rates has produced almost 800 deflationary blocks so far. The theoretical deflationary properties of Ethereum’s London upgrade last week have already been seen in action on the blockchain with almost 800 "deflationary blocks" produced.A spike in the Ethereum transaction fee burn rate has resulted in at least two hours when the supply was deflationary. The network has come under heavy load over the past couple of days which has resulted in a lot more gas being burnt.Around four hours ago (as of 22.00 UTC), the ‘ETH Burn Bot’ recorded an instance when 545 ETH....
Focus is now “exclusively on The Merge,” says Ethereum community manager as the deadline for the next stage of the transition to Eth2 grows closer. The Ethereum community has been hard at work over the past few years, laying the foundation for its shift away from its current proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm which has formed the backbone of the blockchain’s operation up until today.Ethereum’s switch to its proof-of-stake- (PoS-) powered Ethereum 2.0 chain is edging closer to reality, with recent updates to its blockchain resulting in the issuance of Ether (ETH) becoming deflationary.Recent....
Recent market dynamics have again brought Ethereum’s supply into the spotlight and reiterated concerns about its inflationary trend. Earlier this year, Ethereum reached a significant milestone in its circulating supply, surpassing 120 million ETH and the number continues to grow. Unlike other prominent cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Cardano, which have fixed supply caps, Ethereum was designed with an unlimited supply of tokens. This fundamental difference makes Ethereum an inherently inflationary asset, one that has a continuously increasing supply. On-chain data from....
An increase in staked ETH, lucrative yield on liquid staked ETH tokens and deflationary tokenomics are possible bullish factors for Ether’s price. The shift of the Ethereum blockchain to a proof-of-stake (PoS) protocol opened new opportunities for developers and investors to explore, including the burning of Ether (ETH). Now, Ethereum transactions are validated through staking rather than mining.Staking impacts the supply and price dynamics of Ether in ways that are different than mining. Staking is expected to create deflationary pressure on Ether, as opposed to mining, which induces....
