The EIP-1159 upgrade on the Ethereum blockchain changes the fee model and burns a base fee from each transaction. This reduces the supply of Ether, which could potentially increase its value. Furthermore, the upcoming Ethereum 2.0 upgrade is expected to decrease the issuance rate of new Ether, which combined with the burn rate, could make ETH a deflationary currency. This could increase demand and drive up the price of ETH in the short term.
