Inflation in cryptocurrency refers to the gradual increase in the total supply of coins, which can lead to a decrease in the value of individual coins if not matched by demand. This is often a built-in mechanism to reward participants such as miners or stakers.
Inflation rates vary by cryptocurrency and are a critical factor in determining long-term investment prospects.
Proper management of inflation is essential for maintaining the economic balance and value proposition of a digital asset.
