Supply Reduction

Definition

Supply reduction denotes any measure that lessens the overall accessible amount of a specific asset in circulation. In cryptocurrency, this frequently includes mechanisms like token destruction, halving occurrences, or staking arrangements that withdraw coins from active exchange. The goal is typically to generate scarcity, which, assuming consistent or rising demand, can apply upward pressure on the asset’s cost. These methodical decreases in circulating supply are central to the economic designs of many digital currencies.
