Twitter is agog with the deflationary trend of Ethereum (ETH). Twitter user “CryptoGucci” shared data behind the significant reduction in ETH issuance, estimating that Ethereum’s inflation is down nearly 70% since 1559 went live. It was a week when the $ETH inflation rate fell even below the $BTC rates.
In other words, ETH has entered a phase of deflation, and the burning of the token is making the numbers scarce. It is the opposite of inflation, so common with fiat currencies.
This month the $ETH inflation rate dropped below the $BTC inflation rate
Once The Merge is here in July, ETH issuance will drop 90% and turn fully deflationary
This will be the single most bullish event in the history of #Ethereum
