NFT marketplace aggregator Blur.io has surpassed Uniswap, OpenSea, and Etherum transactions as the top ETH burner over the past 24 hours.

Data shared by Access Protocol CEO Mika Honkasalo from Ultrasoundmoney highlighted that over 252 ETH was burned as a result of Blur.io activity between Feb. 18 and Feb. 19. Furthermore, the two contracts identified by Ultrasoundmoney combined to a total of 310.7 ETH compared to 239.39 ETH and 177.8 ETH from Uniswap and OpenSea, respectively.

However, when Uniswap V2 and V3 contracts are combined, Uniswap burned a total of 328 ETH, narrowly pushing Blur.io off the top spot.
