Data: 913,000 ETH Worth $3.4 Billion Permanently Lost, Accounting for 0.76% of Current Circulating Supply
According to a report by Jinse Finance, data released on Sunday by Conor Grogan, a product lead at a certain exchange, shows that a total of 913,111 Ethereum (ETH) — approximately $3.43 billion — has been permanently lost due to user errors and code vulnerabilities, accounting for 0.76% of the current circulating supply. If the 5.3 million ETH destroyed under Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-1559 in 2021 is included, the actual total loss reaches 6.2 million ETH ($23.4 billion), raising the proportion to 5%. Conor Grogan emphasized that this $3.4 billion figure only covers ETH that is permanently locked and does not include cases where assets are technically accessible but effectively lost, such as lost private keys.
