ETH Gas Fees Drop Below 2 Gwei

Gas prices have been low for more than two months, confirming part of a larger Ethereum pattern of slowly moved transactions and a decrease in congestion.

In the last four and a half months, the entire supply of ETH increased from 120,063,605 to 120,291,622. This supply increase, equivalent to 228,000 ETH, probably means it kept issuing new issuance at a stable pace despite reduced activity.

Ethereum’s inflation rate must, too, have increased accordingly. Annualized, it will bloat to 600,000 ETH. With the current supply and pace of issuance, this would mean an annual inflation rate of 0.5%.
