At press time, Ethereum Classic is trading at $4,77 (+4,58%).

The planned decrease will reduce mining reward from 4 ETC down to 3.2 ETC per block once the 10000000th block is mined.

The monetary policy approved back in 2017, sets a limit for the total ETC issuance. Once every 5,000,000th block is generated, the reduction by 20% takes effect. Due to variations in the reward rate of ETC, the total supply of ETC will be approximately 210 million ETC.
