Grayscale2026-08-14 13:26:52Grayscale says lower ETH and SOL inflation could support prices if proposals passGrayscale research head Zach Pandl said the Ethereum and Solana communities are discussing tokenomics changes that could reduce the annual inflation rates of ETH and SOL, slowing future supply growth. In his view, if all else stays the same, a slower pace of issuance could support token prices. Grayscale estimates that if the proposed adjustments are adopted, Ethereum’s annual supply inflation rate could fall to about 0.4% by the end of 2031, putting it close to Bitcoin, while Solana’s could decline to roughly 1.1%. For comparison, Pandl cited annual gold supply growth of about 1.8% and U.S. CPI inflation of about 3.3%. He added that the Solana proposal appears to have broader consensus in its community, making implementation more likely. Pandl also noted that because staking rewards are mainly funded through new token issuance, any reduction in issuance would lower the number of tokens distributed to ETH and SOL stakers. Holders who do not stake may benefit if lower supply growth increases scarcity and adds upward pressure to prices, while the outcome for stakers would depend on the balance between reduced rewards and any potential price appreciation.1210
