Prior to the pandemic, M2 was growing at a mere 6%-7% annualized rate.\nDespite Bitcoin's (BTC-USD) recent rally, digital asset investment products saw a sixth consecutive week of outflows for the week ended Aug. 13, the longest run of consecutive outflows since January 2018, CoinShares Investment Strategist James Butterfill writes in ablog.\nInvestment product volumes are at $3.1B per week, compared with $7B in May, Butterfill notes.\nAnother risk that impacts digital asset flows other than typical seasonal effects is regulatory intervention such as the provision in the U.S. infrastructure bill, which requires brokers of digital assets toreport gains from trading to the Internal Revenue Service.\nFor the week ended Aug. 13, hedge funds continue to cut their net short positions in Bitcoin to an 11-week low, Hedgopia writes in atweet. Net shorts are still elevated but down from its peak in mid-June, implying additional downside risk for BTC.\nDigging deeper into the liquidity trap:\nAlthough money supply continues to reach new record highs, it is doing so at a less rapid pace, however, the Y/Y growth rate of the velocity of M2 money supply (a measure of how much GDP is generated per dollar of M2 money supply) is above pre-pandemic levels.\nStill, money velocity remains near historical lows as dollars are trapped in financial assets, which does not contribute to productivity growth since dollars aren't being circulated throughout the economy.\nLarge scale government transfers and quantitative easing both contribute to the rising money supply, which then triggers diminishing gains in GDP output but triggers asset price inflation throughout financial markets.\nIn response to fiscal and monetary policy, money velocity has crashed to levels not seen since World War II. \nBitcoin (BTC-USD) is clearly the centerpiece for the crypto market as it recently reached a $2T market capitalization. Since the $2T can be converted into fiat currency, Bitcoin (BTC-USD) may represent a broad measure of money just like M2 money supply but at asmaller scale.\nAs of June, there was $20.4T in M2 money stock. The growth in M2 from February 2020 to May 2020 was much larger than in the period fromJune 2020 to currently. Bitcoin (BTC-USD) also rose in those time periods.\nEarlier this week, Michael Saylor says Bitcoin (BTC-USD) will be a$100T asset class that everybody needs.\nIn June, El Salvador to make Bitcoin (BTC-USD)legal tender.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":835331293,"gmtCreate":1629686797312,"gmtModify":1676530099300,"author":{"id":"3586519067840195","authorId":"3586519067840195","name":"cxseah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586519067840195","authorIdStr":"3586519067840195"},"htmlText":"Like pls","listText":"Like pls","text":"Like pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/835331293","repostId":1124774000,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":5616873,"gmtCreate":1629687260829,"gmtModify":1663232774541,"authorId":3580984813011332,"author":{"id":3580984813011332,"idStr":"3580984813011332","authorId":3580984813011332,"name":"WKB","avatar":"https://static.itradeup.com/news/61aaa43602e6cbc5c092a0b5d2f80e0c","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":835331293,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Ok","text":"Ok","html":"Ok"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":835305970,"gmtCreate":1629686235990,"gmtModify":1676530098858,"author":{"id":"3586303845668227","authorId":"3586303845668227","name":"StayHome","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a2090cc80fca211990d8fc4e216f75b7","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b073a07f77dbe6b3bec6b12311fde6bd","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3586303845668227","authorIdStr":"3586303845668227"},"htmlText":"Too volatile …Pls like and comment.
