Ethereum turns deflationary for the first time since the Merge — ETH price still risks 50% drop
The annual supply rate of Ether (ETH) slipped below zero for the first time since Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake via the Merge in September. The reason? A spike in on-chain activity amid a massive cryptocurrency market crash.
