đŸ”„ Ethereum’s Deflationary Shift Is Getting Real

In the past 30 days, over 9,600 $ETH has been burned — roughly $380M/year if this pace continues.

What’s driving it?

Blob fees from Layer 2 networks after EIP-4844.

This upgrade changed the burn dynamics:

‱ Every rollup transaction now burns ETH directly

‱ Rather than just consuming standard gas like before

So instead of L2 activity just using Ethereum, it now actively reduces ETH supply.

📉 Current Supply Status

‱ Annual issuance: ~971K ETH

‱ Annual burn rate: ~118K ETH

→ Net inflation: ~0.7% / year (still slightly inflationary, but trending downward)

The key variable now is L2 adoption.

If platforms like:

‱ Base

‱ Lighter

‱ zkSync / Scroll / Starknet

continue to grow and push more data through blobs


Then the burn rate will accelerate — fast.

Supply down. Demand steady or rising.

You know what happens next. 👀

Deflation isn’t guaranteed — but the trajectory is clear.
