Ethereum and Inflation Impact

This is the most significant annual increase since 1982. Before the pandemic, the rate was 1.8%.

In the immediate aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis, 22 million jobs were cut, and national economic output saw a considerable decline. The U.S. economy began a massive recovery amid the relative success of the vaccination campaign. However, it seems that the supply chains were unprepared.
