A supply reduction phase describes a period during which the rate of new asset creation decreases or existing supply is removed from circulation. This phase can be triggered by scheduled events, such as Bitcoin halvings, or by protocol mechanisms like token burning, which permanently destroy a portion of the supply. A reduction in the available supply, assuming constant or increasing demand, typically exerts upward pressure on an asset’s price. It is a fundamental economic principle applied within digital asset protocols to manage scarcity and value.
