Story
Blockchain Stories, citing Alphractal, reports BRICS M2 growth from about $10 trillion in 2009 to nearly $60 trillion in 2026. These source figures have not been independently verified here against the underlying time series.
The stated years are 17 calendar years apart. Moving from 10 to nearly 60 means almost six times the original stock, or an increase of almost 500 percent. The source contains conflicting timeframe and ratio descriptions, which we do not adopt.
The source compares money supply with Bitcoin prices. That comparison establishes neither causation nor a reliable price forecast. Country composition and measurement consistency also need verification before drawing stronger conclusions.
Issue context
Block-Builders reports Bitcoin ETF inflows for Thursday. Other stories cover UK crypto ETN access, corporate plans and speculative tokens. These developments need separate assessment: a single flow does not establish a lasting market trend or every investor’s motives. The BRICS money-supply source contains arithmetic and timeframe inconsistencies.
Check each figure’s period, provenance and reliability. ETF inflows do not establish a dependable hedge; comparing money supply with Bitcoin prices does not prove causation or predict returns.
