TechFlow reports that on August 22, according to Etherscan monitoring, Ethereum (ETH) has recently entered an inflationary phase. Data shows that over the past four and a half months, the total supply of ETH has increased by 228,000 tokens, worth approximately $602 million, averaging 1,652 new ETH per day. Since early April, due to reduced on-chain activity, ETH gas fees have remained below 2 Gwei for an extended period, causing issuance to exceed token burn. The total ETH supply has risen from 120,063,605 to 120,291,622.
If this trend continues, the annual inflation would reach around 600,000 ETH, valued at approximately $1.59 billion at current prices, representing a 0.5% inflation rate. Nonetheless, compared to other assets, a 0.5% inflation rate remains relatively low.
