general
Supply
The total quantity of a cryptocurrency in existence. Three key metrics: circulating supply (currently tradeable), total supply (created but including locked/vested), max supply (absolute ceiling that will ever exist). Bitcoin has max supply 21M; Ethereum has no cap but net-negative inflation post-Merge. Supply-side analysis includes emission schedules, burns, and vesting unlocks.
