ETH vs SOL Burn Mechanics: Scarcity Battle in 2025 🔥
Quick Take (Dec 5, 2025):
Ethereum’s Fusaka + EIP-1559 burns ~300K–400K ETH/year (~0.25–0.33% of supply), scaling with L2/DeFi usage → dynamic deflation during adoption waves. Solana burns ~6.2M SOL/year (~1.2%), fixed base fees, mostly offset by 4.1% inflation → steady but not scarcity-driving.
⚡ Key Metrics
Burn Rate (2025) 300K–400K ETH (~0.25–0.33%) 6.2M SOL (~1.2%)
Mechanism Adaptive, usage-linked Fixed 50% base fee
Net Supply Effect Potential deflation (-0.5%) Usually net inflation (+2–3%)
Ecosystem Impact DeFi & stablecoins drive scarcity High throughput utility, low deflation
🔹 Bottom Line
ETH: Dynamic burns + adoption synergy = flywheel scarcity → strong long-term hodl potential ($4K+ target in 2026 adoption wave).
SOL: Steady, utility-focused; limited effect on net supply → better for apps, not hodl scarcity plays.
Both reduce float, but ETH’s adaptive burns win for long-term scarcity and deflationary potential.
💡 Market Signal: Watch ETH deflation cycles during high TVL and DeFi activity → scarcity + price upside. SOL supports throughput & utility growth.
