How much ETH is in circulation, and how fast does supply grow?
Ethereum’s circulating supply is about 121,860,000 ETH, per ultrasound.money’s live supply tracker, close to the 120,683,081 ETH in WealthyBud’s own snapshot. Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum has no fixed maximum supply, but issuance fell roughly 90% after the September 2022 Merge, from about 15,000 ETH per day under proof-of-work to about 1,500 ETH per day under proof-of-stake.
14. Circulating supply: about 121,860,000 ETH
ultrasound.money’s live supply tracker puts Ethereum’s circulating supply at about 121,860,000 ETH as of July 12, 2026; WealthyBud’s CoinGecko-sourced snapshot shows 120,683,081 ETH as of 2026-07-10 — the small gap reflects new issuance minted between the two snapshots (ultrasound.money).
15. Post-Merge issuance runs near 1,500 ETH per day
Ethereum’s September 2022 transition to proof-of-stake cut new issuance from roughly 15,000 ETH per day under proof-of-work to about 1,500 ETH per day now — a reduction of about 90%, per ultrasound.money.
16. EIP-1559 fee burn has run since August 5, 2021
Ethereum has destroyed a portion of every transaction’s base fee since EIP-1559 activated on August 5, 2021, offsetting new issuance and, at times, making net supply shrink, per ultrasound.money.
17. Ethereum has no fixed maximum supply
Unlike Bitcoin's 21,000,000-coin hard cap, Ethereum's protocol sets no ceiling on total supply; its long-run supply trend instead depends on the balance between new issuance and EIP-1559 fee burn (Ethereum protocol; WealthyBud data).
How much value runs through Ethereum’s DeFi and layer-2 ecosystem?
DeFi protocols on Ethereum mainnet hold $40.1B in total value locked, per DefiLlama. Ethereum’s layer-2 scaling networks add more: Arbitrum One alone secures $17.8B, Base secures $11.5B and OP Mainnet secures $1.5B, per L2Beat — capital that settles back to Ethereum’s base layer for security.
18. Ethereum mainnet DeFi TVL: $40.1B
DefiLlama puts total value locked in DeFi protocols on Ethereum’s base layer at $40.1B, as of July 12, 2026 (DefiLlama, Ethereum chain data).
19. Arbitrum One secures $17.8B, the largest Ethereum layer-2
Arbitrum One, an Ethereum rollup, holds $17.8B in value secured, the largest of any Ethereum layer-2 network, per L2Beat, as of July 12, 2026.
20. Base and OP Mainnet secure $11.5B and $1.5B
Coinbase’s Base network holds $11.5B in value secured and OP Mainnet holds $1.5B, per L2Beat, as of July 12, 2026.
| Network | Value secured |
|---|---|
| Arbitrum One | $17.8B |
| Base | $11.5B |
| OP Mainnet | $1.5B |
What this means for Ethereum and altcoin investors
Ethereum still dwarfs any single altcoin. At 2.8 times BNB’s market cap, Ethereum sits in a different weight class than the rest of the non-Bitcoin market, even after a 63.7% drop from its all-time high.
Altcoins carry more return dispersion than Ethereum. A 1177-point spread between the best- and worst-performing tracked altcoins over the past year shows single-asset altcoin bets carry far more variance than holding Ethereum itself.
Supply mechanics differ from Bitcoin’s. Ethereum has no hard cap, but post-Merge issuance near 1,500 ETH per day, plus EIP-1559’s ongoing fee burn, keeps net supply growth far slower than it was under proof-of-work.
Ethereum’s value extends beyond its own token price. $40.1B in mainnet DeFi and tens of billions more secured on layer-2s like Arbitrum and Base show Ethereum functioning as settlement infrastructure, not just a tradable asset.
