 <p class="paragraph">Solana (SOL) is an inflationary cryptocurrency, which means its circulating supply increases over time, diluting its price. These economics are by the protocol’s design; thus, investors must understand how it affects their holdings and decisions.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, there is no consensus on the exact yearly inflation rate for Solana or other cryptocurrencies. Data may vary from each source’s definition of inflation or circulating supply.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">First, the <em>Solana Foundation</em> considers only the issuance of new tokens to pay the network’s staking validators as inflation. <em>Solana Labs</em> has a similar understanding, according to its documentation.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Additionally, the project’s documentation mentions a yearly disinflation rate of around 15%. As stated by the two core entities behind the project, its issuance rate started at 8% by launch, following what they call an “inflation schedule,” resulting in long-term forecasted supply inflation of 1.5%.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">This is important because the real economic effects of inflation are related to price dilution and sell-off pressure. Supply vs. demand dynamics directly affect price formation and fair value discovery. Therefore, looking at the effective circulating supply is fair when measuring Solanas’s real yearly inflation rate.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">All in all, Solana has a relatively high <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="yearly" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/yearly.html">yearly</a> supply <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> rate compared to most highly capitalized cryptocurrencies. This could be a net negative for SOL investors if the digital asset does not gather enough demand for the token.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In particular, Finbold reported that Solana would trade at $191.34 with November’s 2023 circulating supply if it reached its all-time high market cap that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a>d SOL at $260.06 in 2021. A loss of $68.72 (26.4%), similar to the real <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="yearly" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/yearly.html">yearly</a> supply <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="inflation" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/inflation.html">inflation</a> rate estimations.</p>
