Could you elaborate on the reasons behind the declining supply of Ethereum (ETH)? I've noticed a significant dip in the available supply of ETH in recent months and I'm curious to understand the dynamics at play. Is it due to increased demand and adoption, leading to a decrease in the available supply? Or is there a technical aspect to it, such as the burning of Ether through smart contract execution? Additionally, how does this affect the overall market sentiment and price movement of ETH? Your insights would be greatly appreciated in understanding this complex phenomenon.

This surge in addresses has naturally led to a significant increase in network activity, as more users transact on the blockchain.

With greater activity, there is an increased demand for network resources, resulting in higher transaction fees.

These higher fees are then paid by users to miners as incentives for processing and validating transactions.

A portion of these fees, known as "burned" fees, are permanently removed from circulation, reducing the total supply of Ethereum.
