How Does a High Staking APY Affect Coin Supply Inflation?
A high Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for staking typically means the protocol is minting and distributing a large number of new coins as rewards. This directly leads to a higher rate of coin supply inflation.
If the demand for the coin does not keep pace with this high inflation, the coin's price can suffer.
