How will the merger affect ETH?

The merger will have a huge impact on the ETH economy, especially for investors.

The merger dramatically changed the ETH economy in two ways: reducing ETH issuance and using ETH as a native yield asset.

Reduce the amount of ETH issued

The merger will reduce ETH annual inflation from 4.3% to 0.43%.

With PoS, ETH will reduce production by more than 90%, and the overhead cost of being a PoS verifier will basically be reduced to 0.
