Has Ether become deflationary? Over 156k ETH burned since London Hardfork

TL;DR Breakdown: In three instances, Ethereum blocks mined hourly on Tuesday produced deflationary results.So far, over 156,000 ETH has been completely removed from the supply.  A significant amount of Ether (ETH) has been burned since the London hardfork went live on the network on August 5. The introduction of the EIP-1559 has effectively helped to reduce the supply of ETH via the process of burning, and there have been instances where Ethereum blocks became deflationary (when ETH burned exceeded new coins issued). Ethereum produces hourly deflationary blocks On Tuesday, there were three recorded cases where Ethereum blocks mined hourly became deflationary. The first set of deflationary blocks were mined between 03:00-04:00 UTC, which produced 613.7500 ETH but had 1,487.1170 ETH burned.  1,487.1170 $ETH burned last hour.Issuance: 613.7500 ETHNet Change: -873.3670 ETHAnnualized: -6.54% 2021-08-31 03:00-04:00 UTCLast Block: 13131065Cumulative : 144,990.2855 ETH— ETH Burn Bot (@ethburnbot) August 31, 2021 In the second set of blocks mined between 20:00-21:00 UTC, about 533.5000 ETH was issued, and 607.2776 ETH burned.
