Grayscale believes EIP-1559, a proposal to burn Ethereum gas fees, could be extremely bullish for Ether’s price. Institutional crypto fund manager Grayscale Investments believes the introduction of the proposed EIP-1559 fee and burn mechanism could create “a positive feedback loop for Ether’s price” should network activity continue to increase on Ethereum.That’s because the proposal could result in Ether being burned at a rate exceeding the creation of new supply, significantly shifting the supply-demand dynamic underpinning the ETH markets.In Grayscale’s Feb. 4 report, Valuing Ethereum,....
What the planned EIP-1559 could mean for Ethereum, DeFi and miners. Ethereum Improvement Proposal 1559, set to be bundled together with the “London” upgrade in July, has caused as much excitement as fear and panic.

On a net basis, however, the supply of Ether is still inflating at about 1.2% per year. In a Twitter post published Wednesday, blockchain research firm CryptoRank revealed that over 1 million Ether (ETH) (worth $4.24 billion) had been burned since the introduction of the EIP-1559 protocol in August as part of the London hard fork. The EIP-1559 protocol reformed the Ethereum fee market, modifying the limit for gas fees and introducing a burn feature that takes a portion of transaction fees on the blockchain out of circulation, to be canceled permanently.Notable decentralized applications....
