During the same period, more than $824,000,000 in equivalent were destroyed.

As covered by U.Today previously, in periods of high network activity, more Ethers are burned than created. Thus, there are some periods in which the Ethereum supply is deflationary.

This mechanism was actvated on Aug. 5, 2021, on Ethereum’s mainnet. By mid-October, more than 500,000 Ethers have been destroyed. This process reduces selling pressure and is oftenly treated as a bullish catalyst for the second cryptocurrency.

Ethereum is on its way to The Merge

The Ethereum 2.0 Merge, i.e., the transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus, has been activated in an interoperable devnet.

On Oct. 8, 2021, Ethereum core developers activated The Merge in a multi-client closed developer network with Besu, Erigon, EthereumJS, Geth, Nethermind, Nimbus, Lighthouse, Lodestar, Quilt, Prysm and Teku clients onboard.
