According to Lucas Outumuro, a blockchain researcher, the daily issuance rate of Ethereum drops below Bitcoin Bitcoin’s for the first time this week. Outumuro says the net inflation of Ethereum fell at an annualized rate of 1.11% compared to Bitcoin’s annualized rate of 1.75% during the middle of this week. He believes Ethereum's falling issuance rate could bestow a monetary premium to Ethereum by market cap.
