Glassnode analysts concluded that the Ethereum cryptocurrency is likely to be deflationary after The Merge update was activated.

The chart attached to the tweet simulates ETH emission rates for:

  • the current number of coins in two chains – PoW and PoS – and the operation of the EIP-1559 coin-burning mechanism;
  • Operation of the system after the activation of The Merge, which took place as part of the model in August 2021.

“Except in August of this year, when the average gas cost was below 20 Gwei, the simulated PoS chain with EIP-1559 is deflationary,” the researchers said.

Experts reminded that as the number of validators increases, the ETH emission rate on the Beacon Chain will increase.

“Assuming the merge was successful. The pool of validators is likely to increase as concerns about technical risks subside, experts said.

According to their observations, the current annual profitability of the validators’ activity is 4.44%.

According to Ultrasound Money, Ethereum’s annual issuance rate after The Merge was estimated at 0.3%.

730.06 ETH is burned every day. 2.6 million Ethereum tokens have been destroyed since the activation of EIP-1559.

Recall that the second largest cryptocurrency’s transition to PoS by capitalization is scheduled for September 15-16.
