What’s new? Ethereum cryptocurrency supply has decreased by 104 246 coins (~$199 million) since the network switched to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm as part of The Merge upgrade on September 15, 2022. According to the Ultrasound Money website, the current supply of the asset is 120,4 million coins (~$195,28 billion). Over the past 30 days, an average of 1125 ETH has been burned per day. If Ethereum had not switched to PoS, the supply would have increased by 2,5 million ETH worth $4,8 billion.
What is going on with Ethereum? On April 13, developers held the Shapella hard fork, which allows ETH to be withdrawn from staking. Crypto exchange Kraken requested the withdrawal of 551 000 ETH because it had previously pledged to stop providing staking services to US citizens under a securities regulator ruling.
Prior to the upgrade’s release, Glassnode analysts said that it would not lead to increased selling pressure, despite the possibility of withdrawing assets and rewards from staking. Bank of America said the upgrade only marginally boosted the network’s competitiveness. Experts at crypto exchange Coinbase believe the hard fork supported the asset’s strong price momentum, and it could last until the end of the month.
