Global money supply across the four largest economies reached a record $103.66 trillion in August, and the Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan, and PBOC together added $1 trillion that month. The same milestone was framed on X as fuel for stocks, gold, and crypto, while Bitcoin still traded about 33% below its October peak and gold was falling.

What it means
Markets that traders watch for liquidity signals will notice this data point immediately, because the record $103.66 trillion figure was framed online as relevant to stocks, gold, and crypto. Bitcoin holders also see a gap between the record money-supply headline and the coin trading about 33% below its October peak.
In practice, the updated figures show a larger cash base than before and a continued monthly rise, with the Fed, ECB, Bank of Japan, and PBOC together adding $1 trillion in August. What remains unchanged in the piece is that the headline number does not describe how every asset moved at the same time, since Bitcoin was still below its October peak and gold was falling.
