ETHUSD

A total of 3,139 Ether (ETH) worth $4,990,797 was burned from Ethereum transactions on Wednesday. This follows the implementation of the EIP-1159 upgrade on the Ethereum blockchain, which changes the fee model and burns a base fee from each transaction. The burn rate of Ether is speculated to exceed the token's issuance once the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade is implemented, potentially making ETH a deflationary currency.
