In a landmark move for the world of cryptocurrency, the supply of Ethereum has been reduced by 66,000 ETH in 2023

Highlights

  • Supply of ETH has been reduced by 66,000 ETH in 2023, according to market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock.
  • This comes as a result of the transition to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus that took place in September 2022.
  • With the new consensus mechanism, a fraction of ETH transaction fees is being burnt.
  • This has made ETH deflationary, which is great news for crypto enthusiasts seeking scarce digital assets.
  • As of the time of writing, the ETH price is hovering around $1,816.52 per coin.
  • The asset’s price registered solid growth in the last 7 days, rising by 26%.
