Ethereum's promise of becoming deflationary through transaction fee burning (ultrasound money) worked briefly after the 2022 Merge but collapsed after the March 2024 Dencun upgrade shifted activity to cheaper layer-2 rollups. This caused the daily ETH burn to drop drastically, making ETH mildly inflationary again. The December 2025 Fusaka upgrade introduced a minimum fee floor to restore some burn, but it won't return to previous levels. The shift highlights a trade-off: Ethereum's scaling success reduces its scarcity narrative, making its investment case rely more on utility than deflationary supply dynamics.
