Forbes: Since the merger in September 2022, the growth rate of ETH supply has been lower than BTC

ChainCatcher reports, according to Forbes, Bitcoin has long been hailed as "digital gold," but Ethereum has quietly surpassed Bitcoin in a key metric in recent years: supply expansion.

Since the merger in September 2022, the growth rate of Ethereum's supply has been lower than that of Bitcoin, challenging the long-held assumption that Bitcoin is the best form of robust currency. Unlike Bitcoin's fixed cap of 21 million coins, Ethereum's design is adaptive, allowing its supply to expand or contract based on network activity. Analysts believe that while Bitcoin ensures absolute scarcity, Ethereum offers more adaptability and flexibility and can adjust according to market conditions. If sound money means growing supply, it has unexpectedly surpassed bitcoin in this regard in recent years.
