CryptoSlate analyzed that it is difficult to compare supply reduction effects or investment profitability solely based on the token burn volume of Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). The outlet stated, “While the burn amounts over the past 30 days are similar, SOL's proportion relative to market capitalization is relatively larger. However, the burn amount is only one factor in the overall supply change. In Ethereum's case, one must check the net supply, which excludes the burn amount from the new issuance, to determine whether the actual supply has increased or decreased. The Ethereum Foundation's example of approximately 1,700 ETH issued per day is also a hypothetical scenario assuming about 14 million ETH are staked, and it does not represent the current issuance as of September 2026. Similarly, while Solana's SGP-0002, which increases the annual inflation reduction rate from the existing 15% to 30%, has been approved, its actual impact on monetary policy depends on the approval and implementation of the related proposal, SIMD-0550. Therefore, to compare the supply structures of ETH and SOL, one must consider the new issuance, burn amounts, and fee distribution volumes over the same period,” it explained.
