Structural Supply Easing

Definition

Structural Supply Easing refers to a long-term reduction in the rate at which new cryptocurrency units enter circulation, or an increase in mechanisms that permanently remove units from the total supply. This phenomenon leads to a tightening of the available supply over extended periods. It can be a result of protocol changes, such as halving events in Bitcoin, or token burning mechanisms. This easing influences the long-term scarcity and economic value of a digital asset.
