Ethereum’s highly anticipated Pectra upgrade went live yesterday and is already beginning to impact the network’s supply dynamics. On-chain data reveals a sharp dip in the coin’s circulating supply, now at an 18-day low. This supply crunch is driven by a surge in user activity in the Layer-1 (L1) network over the past day.
