It aims to let state agencies accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash as payment for services. This could set a precedent for broader crypto adoption in government transactions, but it’s still under the radar for most.[](<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-happened-in-crypto-today">https://cointelegraph.com/news/what-happened-in-crypto-today</a>)<br/>- **Greenland’s Arctic Diplomacy**: Greenland appointed its first-ever Arctic ambassador to focus on sustainable development amid growing geopolitical interest in the region. This move signals a shift toward asserting more autonomy in international affairs, especially as global powers eye Arctic resources. It’s a subtle but significant step that’s not getting much mainstream attention.[](<a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/">https://www.reuters.com/world/</a>)<br/><br/>### Money (Finance)<br/>- **Pakistan’s Bitcoin Mining Plan**: Pakistan is planning to divert surplus electricity to Bitcoin mining and AI data centers, according to the head of its Crypto Council. They’ve already held talks with mining firms, aiming to boost economic output in a novel way. This could reshape how energy-strapped nations approach crypto, but it’s barely being discussed globally.[](<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/">https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/</a>)[](<a href="https://x.com/AustinZaback/status/1910407557287456987">https://x.com/AustinZaback/status/1910407557287456987</a>)<br/>- **GameStop’s Bitcoin Bet**: U.S. video game retailer GameStop announced it’s adding Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset to diversify its holdings. This is a bold move for a struggling retail chain, betting on crypto to turn its fortunes around, but it’s not making big headlines outside niche financial circles.[](<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/">https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/</a>)<br/><br/>### Bitcoin<br/>- **China-Russia Energy Trades in Bitcoin**: Amid U.S. tariffs hitting 104% on Chinese goods, China and Russia have started settling some energy trades in Bitcoin to bypass U.S.-controlled financial systems. This is a small but growing trend that could challenge the dollar’s dominance in trade if it expands, yet it’s flying under the radar for most casual observers.[](<a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-russia-settle-energy-trades-012147370.html">https://finance.yahoo.com/news/china-russia-settle-energy-trades-012147370.html</a>)<br/>- **BlackRock’s European Bitcoin ETF**: BlackRock launched its first Bitcoin exchange-traded product in Europe, tapping into rising demand after pulling in over $50 billion for similar U.S. products. This move signals institutional confidence in crypto’s staying power, but it’s not getting the same buzz as U.S.-focused crypto news.[](<a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/">https://www.reuters.com/markets/cryptocurrency/</a>)<br/><br/>These stories are percolating in the background, overshadowed by bigger headlines like tariffs or market swings.

M2, which includes cash, checking deposits, savings deposits, money market securities, and other near-money assets, is a key indicator of the money available in the economy.<br/><br/>Recent data indicates that M2 increased to $21,447.6 billion in November 2024, up from $21,311.2 billion in October 2024, reflecting a month-over-month growth. On a year-over-year basis, M2 growth was reported at 3.9% in January 2025, compared to 3.8% in December 2024, suggesting a slow but steady upward trend. This follows a notable decline that began in mid-2022, where M2 dropped significantly—by over $530 billion from March 2022 to December 2023—marking the first recorded annual decrease in decades. That contraction was largely driven by the Federal Reserve&#39;s efforts to combat inflation through aggressive monetary tightening, including raising interest rates and reducing liquidity.<br/><br/>The current expansion appears to signal a shift. After bottoming out in 2023, M2 has been creeping upward, possibly reflecting a loosening of monetary conditions or a response to economic stabilization efforts. Historically, M2 growth has been tied to economic activity—rising during expansions to support growth and falling during tightening cycles to curb inflation. The sharp increase during the COVID-19 pandemic (a 40% surge from early 2020 to early 2022) was driven by unprecedented stimulus, followed by the Fed’s pivot to contraction as inflation spiked. Now, with inflation pressures easing somewhat, the modest uptick in M2 could indicate a return to more accommodative policies or simply a natural rebound in liquidity.<br/><br/>However, interpreting M2’s movements isn’t straightforward. Some argue it’s a lagging indicator, influenced by factors like the Eurodollar system—offshore dollar creation not fully captured in M2 stats—which could mean actual liquidity is higher than reported. Others note that while M2 growth often correlates with asset price increases (like stocks or cryptocurrencies), short-term fluctuations don’t always reflect real-time economic conditions. For now, the data suggests M2 is in a phase of cautious recovery, but whether this persists or accelerates depends on the Fed’s next moves and broader global liquidity trends.<br/><br/>Grok Query Result 2025-04-04T11:59:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxskeyuy90ds8ntjm3g65wjntpf3vt404ek2hdgjr0jqywn2wdszczyqejer8tt39yztqtevjw86qxh5r9nfdcawvy4kj303m790cazt6ejrqwrs0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw74cehnzzd2gee8058hpcpmetpjxufdv0zqrrqtt33qau72ddwnspr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsgc2uh8'>nevent1q…2uh8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Same here.<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs87rnyk5h026lv9dvg63s0cccjtat8mvkqzng7en5qdkx4kssfutsppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qyfhwumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn9up9hjx7" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>tzongocu</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…hjx7</span>)</a></span> , <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1j4te25647hc36exurskh6ymdtqgeqn7uty4f2r95pyws2stllwsswnc8ed" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>CosmicWhispers</span> (<span class="italic">npub1j4t…c8ed</span>)</a></span> , and <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1yvn4pn774esfxmkrtc342t6mt0z9qj9y9em58cy75u83zc3th06q6gncv9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Unmasked-Narcisist</span> (<span class="italic">npub1yvn…ncv9</span>)</a></span> , among others follow/unfollow me every time I do anything on this platform. <br/><br/>I’m fairly certain they’re bots.
