    The total supply of Ethereum coins is not capped like Bitcoin. Currently, there are around 115 million Ether in circulation. However, Ethereum has a built-in inflation rate, and new coins are created through the mining process. The exact number of Ethereum coins that can be created is not fixed and depends on the network's consensus algorithm and the decisions made by the Ethereum community.

    Ethereum coins, also known as Ether, have a different issuance model compared to Bitcoin. While Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Ethereum does not have a maximum supply limit. The total supply of Ethereum coins increases over time due to the mining process. This means that more Ethereum coins can be created as long as the network continues to operate and miners validate transactions.

    Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum does not have a fixed supply. The total supply of Ethereum coins is determined by the network's consensus algorithm and the decisions made by the Ethereum community. Currently, there are around 115 million Ether in circulation, but this number will continue to increase as new coins are created through mining. It's important to note that the rate of coin creation is not fixed and can vary based on network upgrades and community decisions.
