Ethereum implemented the EIP-1559 in 2021 and since then, ETH has been burned every day. This upgrade has pushed the network towards becoming deflationary, taking more than 30% that would have gone straight into circulation and burning it.

Over $5 Billion In ETH Burned On August 5th, the EIP-1559 officially went into effect. This came with much fanfare given the implications of such an improvement on the network. It has burned ETH since then and accelerated over the next few months as network activity rose due to the rise of the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. The burn had quickly surpassed $1 billion burned, and now seven months later, there have been over $5 billion worth of ETH burned.

At this accelerated rate, the network is seeing about 80 ETH burned every hour. This translates to more than $200K worth of ETH being burned every hour. The burn over the last seven months has since the net reduction reached as high as 67%.
