Inflation Reduction

Definition

Inflation reduction aims to decrease the rate at which currency prices rise. In traditional economics, this involves monetary and fiscal policies designed to slow the general increase in prices for goods and services, thereby preserving purchasing power. Within digital assets, particularly cryptocurrencies, inflation reduction mechanisms often relate to controlled supply schedules, burning mechanisms, or staking rewards that limit new token issuance. The objective is to maintain or increase the value of a digital asset over time by managing its supply dynamics relative to demand. These strategies counteract the devaluation effects of excessive currency creation.
