That amount of Ether is worth more than $1.2 billion in fiat. More precise figures are provided by ethburned.info: the total amount of Ethereum burned is 409,669.05, worth $1,358,695,270.66.

Over the past hour, 251.14 ETH have been destroyed - the equivalent of $811,370.23.

The mechanism for burning Ethereum fees was introduced in the EIP-1559 upgrade that was rolled out on Aug. 5, also known as the London hard fork.
