📈 Why is Ethereum Less Inflationary Than Bitcoin? 🚀 New analysis from Leon Weidmann at Lisk reveals a significant difference in inflation rates between Ethereum ($ETH) and Bitcoin ($BTC). Over the past 3.5 years since Ethereum's Merge to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), $ETH supply has increased by just 0.24%, while $BTC's supply under Proof-of-Work (PoW) grew by 1.25% The Key Difference: Consensus Mechanisms 🔷 Ethereum ($ETH): Implemented EIP-1559, which burns (destroys) a portion of transaction fees. This deflationary pressure offsets new issuance, leading to lower overall inflation 🪙 Bitcoin ($BTC): Continues with PoW, where miners receive block rewards regardless of transaction volume. This results in a consistent, higher inflation rate 💬 Weidmann suggests $ETH is currently more stable due to this. However, the gap is expected to narrow. Bitcoin's upcoming halving in April 2028 will reduce its block reward by half, slowing its supply growth and thus its inflation rate. This highlights how different blockchain designs significantly impact a cryptocurrency's economic model! bankoro.io | @bankoro_crypto
