Ethereum: The Death of “Ultra Sound” Money
The Dencun upgrade has made ETH inflationary again, sparking debates about the future of the "Ultra Sound" money narrative. Let’s dive into the details.
"Ultrasound money" suggests Ethereum could be a superior form of "sound money" compared to Bitcoin, aiming to decrease its supply over time through strategic upgrades like EIP-1559 and The Merge. Post-Merge, Ethereum seemed aligned with this narrative, even showing a slight reduction in total ETH supply.
However, the Dencun upgrade presents new challenges by reducing transaction fees and the ETH burn rate, leading to an increase in supply. This upgrade has decoupled Ethereum's transaction fees from network activity, reducing the burn rate even amid high activity.
While this results in lower user fees, it complicates the deflationary mechanism set by The Merge, now requiring significantly increased network activity to maintain deflation.

Bitcoin’s price has rallied from $60K to around $66K, driven by lower-than-expected US inflation and reduced selling pressure.
Key insights:
• Short-term holders are selling at low or negative profits, reducing selling pressure.
• Bitcoin balances at OTC desks have stabilized, indicating less supply entering the market.
• Bitcoin miners are facing extremely low profitability, often correlating with price bottoms.
• Demand from permanent holders and large investors is stabilizing but needs to accelerate to sustain the rally.
• ETF Bitcoin purchases remain near zero, and stablecoin liquidity growth is still slow, both critical for a sustainable rally.
Continued demand growth from large investors and increased ETF activity are needed to support higher price levels. Without these, the price rally may face challenges.
