Ether (ETH) supply increased by 2,967.861 ETH in a 24-hour Ethereum snapshot ending Oct. 25, as issuance exceeded the amount burned in network fees. The snapshot, which ended at 11:50:47 a.m. ET (15:50:47 UTC), recorded 2,984.195 ETH issued and 16.334 ETH burned. The difference was net supply growth of nearly 2,968 ETH. Ethereum’s EIP-1559 fee rules burn base fees, while priority fees go to validators. Validator issuance adds ETH to supply, so supply rises over a given period when issuance exceeds the amount burned.
