Galaxy Research: ETH, SOL may need to revisit inflation policies

Galaxy Research Vice President Lucas Tcheyan said Ethereum and Solana are both reviewing whether token rewards paid to maintain network security are at appropriate levels and whether future token issuance needs to be adjusted. Tcheyan said the discussions remain in a reassessment phase and no specific decisions have been made. He added that a slower token issuance pace could reduce newly entering market supply and support supply-demand dynamics, while maintaining or increasing the current pace could keep supply pressure in place. As network participants reexamine the balance between security costs and token value, Tcheyan said the long-term supply outlook for ETH and SOL could also change.
