Ethereum Burns Over $18B Worth of ETH — But Total Supply Still Growing

Ethereum has now burned more than 6 million ETH—valued at over $18 billion—through its fee-burning mechanism introduced in EIP-1559.

The burn process permanently removes a portion of transaction fees from circulation, reflecting periods of high network activity. Despite the large burn total, Ethereum’s overall supply continues to increase. New ETH issued through staking rewards and network operations still exceeds the amount being burned, resulting in net supply growth. The trend highlights the balance between Ethereum’s burn mechanism and its ongoing issuance dynamics.
