‘Inflation’ refers to a general increase in the price level of goods and services in an economy over time, resulting in a decrease in the purchasing power of money. In the context of digital assets, it can describe an increase in the circulating supply of a cryptocurrency, potentially diluting the value of existing tokens if demand does not keep pace. Certain digital assets are designed with fixed or deflationary supply mechanisms to counteract inflationary pressures.
Context
Current discussions regarding ‘inflation’ in crypto often contrast the supply mechanics of Bitcoin, which has a capped supply, with those of other cryptocurrencies that may have inflationary issuance schedules. The potential for fiat currency inflation also drives interest in digital assets as a hedge. Future developments will likely see continued debate on how different tokenomic models address or are affected by broader inflationary trends.
