The current total supply of Ethereum’s native currency is 120 million, which has seen a major decrease in supply inflation after the Merge upgrade in September 2022.

A popular crypto analyst, WhaleChart, shared a post citing that ETH on centralized exchanges has hit its lowest since May 2018. The analyst also claims that over 110,000 ETH was moved from the exchanges on October 4, which indicates reduced selling pressure amid the bearish market phase.

The selling pressure for ETH spiked following increased exchange inflow including Vitalik’s CEX transfers of over 2,400 ETH in late September.
