ETH, SOL burn totals do not reflect true supply change

Ethereum and Solana cannot be accurately compared on supply reduction or investment returns based solely on token burn totals. Over the past 30 days, burn values for both were similar, but SOL's burn was a larger proportion of its market capitalization. However, burn volume is just one factor affecting total supply change. For Ethereum, actual supply changes should be assessed by net supply after accounting for burned tokens against newly issued tokens. The Ethereum Foundation's estimate of about 1700 ETH issued daily is based on approximately 14 million ETH staked and does not reflect issuance as of September 2026. Solana's SGP-0002 proposal, which increases the annual inflation reduction rate from 15% to 30%, has been approved, but its impact on monetary policy hinges on the approval and implementation of the related SIMD-0550 proposal. A proper comparison of ETH and SOL supply structures requires analyzing new issuance, token burns, and fee distribution over the same timeframe.
