CoinMetrics: EIP-1559 Realized 7.1% Growth in Ethereum Miner Revenue in USD: 8/11 News Last Thursday, EIP 1559 was activated along with four other EIPs bundled in the Ethereum "London" upgrade So far, approximately 26,756.06 ETH have been burned, accounting for 33% of the increase in new token supply. However, the reduction in transaction fee income does not seem to significantly affect the total income of Ethereum miners. According to Coin Metrics data, after the activation of EIP 1559, the average daily miner income in US dollars increased by 7.1%, and remained at two months There may be two reasons for this phenomenon:

1. ETH price rises. According to Anand Gomes, co-founder of Paradigm, the upgrade of Ethereum "London" pushed the price of ETH higher and also attracted some institutional investors;

2. Miners can still get rewards in blocks through the so-called "priority fee". Since the "London" upgrade, Ethereum users have paid 7,141 ETH "priority fee", hoping that their transactions will be prioritized by miners . (coindesk) [2021/8/11 1:48:52]

Voice | CoinMetrics co-founder: There is no contradiction between the use of blockchain and the use of legal currency asset support for stablecoins: According to AMBCrypto, CoinMetrics co-founder Nic Carter recently discussed stablecoins and their importance in this era in a podcast event. “Since the dawn of the internet, there has been a need to regularly deposit a certain amount of dollars and digitize them and then reduce the license to them,” he said. Regarding Bitcoin, Nic Carter went on to say that before Bitcoin existed , digital currency is already very attractive. When asked if he thought there was a contradiction between using a blockchain for a stablecoin and using a fiat asset-backed currency, Carter said he didn’t think there was a contradiction. In his view, stablecoins play a pivotal role, they are not as unstable as Bitcoin, and these features come at the cost of true decentralization. [2/2/2020]
