I'm wondering about the maximum possible amount of Ethereum that can exist. Is there a limit to how much Ethereum can be mined or created in total? What is the max amount of Ethereum?

For Bitcoin, there is a predefined limit to its supply. Specifically, the total number of Bitcoin that can ever exist is capped at 21 million coins.

This limitation is hardcoded into the Bitcoin protocol and serves as a key aspect of its economic model.

Unlike Bitcoin, Ethereum operates with a different supply mechanism. Notably, Ethereum does not have a maximum supply limit.

The concept of cryptocurrency supply revolves around the total quantity of coins that have been generated and can potentially be generated.

The absence of a supply cap suggests that, theoretically, an unlimited amount of Ether can be minted over time.
