Inflation Effects

Definition

Inflation effects describe the consequences of a general increase in prices and a corresponding decrease in the purchasing power of a currency. In the context of digital assets, these effects can manifest through changes in token supply mechanisms, such as continuous issuance or burning, which influence a token’s scarcity and value. High inflation in traditional fiat currencies can also drive demand for cryptocurrencies as a perceived hedge against fiat depreciation. These dynamics significantly impact investment decisions and market stability.
