Emission

Emission refers to how quickly new cryptocurrencies are released. Cryptocurrencies are often designed with a predetermined emission schedule that governs how many new units will be created over time. This emission schedule can significantly impact the price and value of a cryptocurrency, as it affects the supply of the asset in circulation. The emission of new units of a cryptocurrency can also be influenced by other factors, such as demand for the asset and market sentiment. For example, if demand for a cryptocurrency increases, and the emission schedule remains unchanged, the price of the asset is likely to increase as buyers compete for the limited available supply.
