10.97%	Inflation (year) Inflation (year) Inflation in cryptocurrencies refers to the increase in the total circulating supply of coins or tokens. A high annual inflation rate can have a negative impact because it dilutes the value of existing units. With each newly created coin or token, the relative share—and potentially the value—of existing coins or tokens decreases. Important: Cryptocurrency inflation differs from traditional fiat inflation, which primarily describes the loss of purchasing power of money over time.
