According to BlockBeats, on July 27th, Coinbase director Conor Grogan stated in a post that according to their statistics, at least 913111 ETH were permanently lost due to user error, equivalent to over 0.76% of the ETH supply and worth approximately $3.43 billion. If we add the 5.3 million ETH destroyed by EIP-1559, then over 5% (23.42 billion US dollars) of all ETH in history has been permanently destroyed. Some of the largest Ethereum permanent locks in history include: Web3 Foundation losing 306000 ETH due to the Parity Multisig vulnerability; Quadriga lost 60000 ETH due to a smart contract malfunction; Akutars lost 11500 ETH in NFT minting failure; The user collectively sent 25000 ETH to the destruction address for unknown reasons; Conor Grogan added that the figure of $3.43 billion is significantly lower than the actual amount of ETH lost/inaccessible, and only covers situations where Ethereum is permanently locked, such as not covering all lost private keys or forgotten Genesis wallets, according to various public reports and queries.
