Bullish
🤖 75%
EIP-8361 proposes burning validator rewards in proportion to the staking ratio, with issuance ceasing at $112B staked ETH. This would reduce ETH supply growth and could create deflationary pressure, bolstering ETH's store-of-value narrative.

How does EIP-8361 affect ETH price?
If adopted, the supply reduction mechanism could increase ETH's scarcity, potentially boosting its price as investors anticipate lower inflation.
When would the zero issuance mechanism activate?
It would activate once the total value staked in Ethereum reaches $112 billion, which is roughly double the current staked amount.
What are the risks for validators?
Validators may earn less new ETH if the staking ratio rises, incentivizing early stakers but potentially deterring new stakers if returns decline too much.
