Key Points:
These wild increases in newly issued ETH have fired up discussions about what this could mean for Ethereum’s economic future in a period when the network has suffered lowering ETH destruction rates.
This is well below the peak of Ethereum inflation activity in March of this year when a lot of ETH was burned in the network. At that time, this deflationary tendency combined with Bitcoin’s first ATH in 2024, creating a high demand for ETH and increasing its price. Starting in April, the amount of ETH being burned through the EIP-1559 mechanism has slowly gone down, which has caused an uptick in the overall supply.

There was a brief surge in Ethereum destruction rates during the first weeks of August, driven by the Memecoin hype and high market action, but this tapered off quite quickly. At first, the fuss about Memecoins spiked transaction fees and, hence, burns of Ethereum, but this effect soon wore off as the fad faded.
This raises constant Ethereum inflation pressure, begging whether Ethereum will maintain value and scarcity in the future. Some market analysts have sounded a warning that continued issuance of new ETH, without considerable counteracting burns, is threatening to water down the value of the asset. The delicate balance between issuance and destruction will continue to be one of the key factors that decide the economic fate of Ethereum as the network evolves.
