Ethereum Proposal Aims to Slash Issuance to Zero with $112 Billion in Staked ETH
A new Ethereum improvement proposal aims to reduce the issuance of new ETH to zero once the total value of staked ether reaches approximately $112 billion.
This move could fundamentally alter the network's supply dynamics and validator economics, introducing a hard cap on circulating supply similar to Bitcoin's fixed supply cap.
The proposal argues that beyond a certain security threshold, additional staking provides diminishing returns and only serves to dilute existing holders.
