  Yes, there is a limitation on the number of Ethereum that can be created. Unlike Bitcoin, which has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Ethereum does not have a hard cap on its total supply. However, there is an annual issuance limit of 18 million Ether, which means that new Ethereum tokens are created at a decreasing rate over time. This is done to control inflation and ensure the long-term sustainability of the Ethereum network.

  No, there is no limit on the number of Ethereum that can be created. Ethereum uses a different consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake, which allows for a more flexible supply policy compared to Bitcoin's fixed supply. This means that Ethereum can continue to create new coins as long as there is a demand for them. However, the rate of new coin creation will decrease over time to control inflation.

  According to BYDFi, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, there is an annual issuance limit of 18 million Ether for Ethereum. This limit is in place to ensure the stability and sustainability of the Ethereum network. As of now, there is no maximum cap on the total supply of Ethereum, but the issuance limit helps control the rate at which new coins are created.
