ETH Burned surpasses 73,000

Key reasons for ETH enjoying positive price action can be credited to the recent London hard fork upgrade, which now sees ETH being burned daily. Since the upgrade, ETH has burned a total of 73,569 ether, or $240 million. That is an additional 27,551 Ether burned in the past week.

ETH on exchanges declining 

ETH is currently hitting a shortage, as the crypto continues to see its supply being removed from exchanges. Glassnode recently reported that “Exchange ETH balances have now declined to reach an all-time low of 13% of the circulating supply this week, equivalent to 15.3M ETH.”
Notably, VanEck has also recently filed another ETF application with the U.S. SEC. The ETF is a futures-based ETH ETF, called the ETH Strategy ETF.
