Cryptocurrency analysis firm CryptoQuant announced that Ethereum’s circulating supply has reached a historic record, exceeding 121 million ETH. This level came almost three years after the network reached a supply of 120 million ETH on August 22, 2022. Ethereum currently generates approximately 2,500–3,000 ETH per day. This indicates a stable issuance rate despite protocol changes and upgrades over time. However, the circulating supply is determined not only by issuance but also by the staking mechanism. Every ETH deposited into a staking contract is removed from circulation, slowing net supply growth and acting as a brake on token inflation. Currently, the…

Ethereum (ETH) has been outstanding this August to say the least, but according to pro-XRP lawyer John E. Deaton, the rally itself is not the real story — it’s the opportunities that he believes the market is offering right now. In his view, buying ETH for under $5,000 in August 2025 would be more “asymmetrical” — meaning the potential upside far outweighs the potential downside — than buying it three years ago, despite prices now being well above $4,000. Deaton’s reasoning ties back to a similar prediction he made in April when Bitcoin was trading at around $94,000. At that…
