IntoTheBlock noted that Ether’s price rallied by 60% over the past month after $1 billion was pulled from the centralized trading platforms in April. The situation changed since April but last month’s London upgrade introduced a burn mechanism into the ETH fee market which only increased the deflationary pressure on the ETH supply dynamics. At the time of writing, 309,505 ether that was worth $1.1 billion were burned in the past 42 days since Ethereum’s Improvement Proposal 1559 went live. Ether was removed from the supply at a rate of 5.05 ETH each minute or $26 million since the upgrade. The booming NFT marketplace OpenSea is the leading decentralized application for Ethereum by burn rate and represents more than 14% of the ETH that was removed from the supply followed by Uniswap with 5.5% and Ether with 4.9%.

Bitcoin also saw some steady outflows from centralized trading venues since peaking at 17% of the supply in May and according to the on-chain analytics firm Glassndoe, the centralized exchanges BTC rivers dropped to their lowest since February 2018.

As recently reported, Ethereum remains at risk and struggles to climb above $3500 against the US dollar and failed to clear the $3450 level thus starting a new decline. The price is now trading well below the $3400 and the 100 hourly simple moving average and there’s a major bearish trend line that formed with resistance close to $3400 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. The pair could extend its decline if there’s a new break below the $3200 support zone. ETH struggled to clear the $3450 resistance and failed to stay above the 100 hourly simple emoving average but a new high was formed near $3450 and the price started a new decline similar to BTC. There was even a break below the $3350 and the $3250 support levels while ETH traded below the 50% fib retracement level of the upward move of $3148 swing low to $3450 high.
