<p class="is-style-lead">Ethereum’s supply turns deflationary amid a decrease in validator participation and declining NFT and defi transactions.</p> 
<p>The recent dynamics of <a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">Ethereum’s</a> blockchain network signal a significant shift towards deflation, according to data from <a href="https://insights.glassnode.com/the-week-onchain-week-48-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Glassnode</a>. This is driven by a combination of reduced validator participation and increased network activity. A notable increase in validators exiting the Ethereum staking pool since October has contributed to a slowdown in the growth rate of ETH issuance. This trend correlates with the broader bullish sentiment across digital asset markets.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The decreased validator participation leads to reduced ETH issuance, which, when combined with heightened network activity, results in increased ETH burn via EIP1559​​. Concurrently, a decline in NFT and defi transactions has been observed, with decreases of 3% and 57%, respectively, over the past four months.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>In contrast, token transfers and stablecoins have seen a surge, with gas usage for tokens rising by 8.2% and stablecoin gas usage increasing by 19%. This suggests a shift towards longer-tail assets, reflecting growing market confidence​​.</p> 
<p>Post the London hardfork, Ethereum transitioned from a net inflationary state towards equilibrium and then deflation. Recently, the combination of declining issuance rates and increased volume of ETH burnt has turned the aggregate ETH supply deflationary once more. These developments underscore Ethereum’s responsiveness to market activity and adoption trends​​.</p>
