Ethereum Network Sees Significant Increase in Burning Rate, Indicating Growing Demand and Usage

As network activity gains momentum, leading Layer1 network Ethereum (ETH) has witnessed a notable increase in its burning rate last month. The increase in the burning rate, which is a measure of ETH tokens permanently removed from circulation, indicates a growing demand and usage of the Ethereum network.

Supply Balance in ETH

As more users engage with decentralized applications (dApps) on L1 and interact with them, the burning rate contributes to Ethereum’s deflationary supply dynamics. According to Ultrasound.money data, approximately 92,831 ETH worth around 193.55 million were burned in the last 30 days. Despite a general indifference towards non-fungible tokens (NFTs) since the beginning of the year, Ethereum managed to reverse this trend with a significant monthly increase of 37% in sales volume recorded in November.

Furthermore, this represents the first monthly increase in Ethereum’s NFT sales volume since February. According to CryptoSlam data, NFT sales volume reached 273 million dollars in November, with five days left until the end of the month. In relation to the DeFi ecosystem, a significant indicator of growth on the Ethereum network is the rise in the total value locked (TVL) recorded in the last 30 days.
