Upcoming macro analyst: Global M2 money supply is not a measure for global liquidity!
In this conversation, Joe Consorti and Pascal Hügli explore the complex relationship between Bitcoin and global liquidity, particularly Global M2. They emphasize the need to move beyond traditional liquidity metrics, introducing a new asset-backed liquidity framework that offers deeper insights into market dynamics and lending activity — both essential for understanding Bitcoin’s value proposition. The discussion also highlights Bitcoin’s ongoing maturation as an asset and its potential role as a hedge against monetary debasement, reflecting the shifting landscape of global finance. Consorti and Hügli also dive into the nuances of liquidity measurement, with a special focus on TBL's liquidity metric. They examine the impact of quantitative tightening (QT) and the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet strategy, underlining the critical role of the U.S. dollar in shaping global markets. The conversation also covers the influence of bond market volatility on economic growth and concludes with sharp insights into the alignment between government policy and the Federal Reserve on interest rates and the future trajectory of financial liquidity.
