The stored U.S. M2 denominator did not change between these two records, so no split between numerator and denominator is shown and none is claimed. The whole of the benchmark movement above sits in the numerator.³ see note 3

The movement totals this record stored. Gross expansion and gross contraction are measured separately and cannot be derived from net alone. Contributor attribution is not promoted for records outside the canonical daily series.

How this Signal was selected14 published rule families and selection detail

Record status. This record is outside the canonical series, so no market Signal is presented as selected.

1Record validityOnly a complete canonical Daily Tape record can produce a market Signal.
2DDD benchmark or milestoneA material DDD move, rounded 1-in-N milestone, or genuinely denominator-driven M2 update.
3Archive extremeThe largest same-direction daily move in a sufficiently deep canonical archive.
4Sequence reversalA material move reverses or interrupts the immediately preceding run in the other direction.
5Weekly extremeThe largest daily move in the latest complete seven-record window.
6Large daily movementA net daily supply move clears the published large-movement floor.
7Multi-day streakSupply keeps moving in the same direction across contiguous canonical days.
8Weekly supply trendThe latest seven canonical records show a material directional endpoint trend.
9Quiet market with weekly contextA quiet day is placed in the context of the latest seven-record trend.
10Issuer or chain trendA clean endpoint-confirmed issuer or chain move explains the weekly change.
11Offsetting movementLarge opposing supply changes leave the net daily move close to flat.
12Broad issuer movementMovement is broad across major issuers rather than concentrated in one name.
13Quiet readingSupply remains inside the published flat threshold after stronger families are tested.
14Net supply movementThe plain directional daily movement when no more specific family is eligible.

Signal wording uses rounded figures; the tables above show the exact frozen values.

Continuity boundary: bootstrap record. No predecessor snapshot is available to join this record to.

The benchmark on this record is read from the closing snapshot. The movement is measured across the opening and closing pair.¹ see note 1

This record stores no reconciliation block, so no agreement check is shown and none is claimed.

Bootstrap record. No canonical integrity block is present for this record.

No hash, canonicalisation or algorithm is stored for this record, so none is shown and none is reconstructed. The record remains permanently published and reachable.

schemaVersion 1: same schema limitations as 2026-06-17 (no provenance object, no rows, no movementBreakdown, no integrity hash).

Numerator-definition bug (pre-dates fix commit dd8d867): benchmark.totalSupplyUsd (315,147,366,331) includes non-USD pegs. USD-only total was 314,266,354,235. Correct oneInN would be 73, not the reported 72.

CONFIRMED numerator contamination in movement.topExpansion: USDX Money (+$647,492,552, previousSupplyUsd: 0) is driven by DeFiLlama adding BSC ($528.47M) and Arbitrum ($119.02M) chain coverage for USDX between the previous snapshot (2026-06-17T10:38Z, USDX total $32.6M across 4 chains) and this one (2026-06-18T13:20Z, USDX total $716.0M across 7 chains) — not a same-day mint. Verified directly against data/tape-snapshots/snapshot-20260617T1038Z.json and snapshot-20260618T1319Z.json. Inflates this day’s expandedUsd by roughly $647M of $1.13B.

benchmark.oneInN/sharePct are unaffected by the USDX artifact (computed from total supply / M2 only, not per-token attribution) but are affected by the numerator-definition bug above.

This record is preserved for audit and remains permanently addressable, but it is not part of the canonical daily series and carries none of its guarantees.

Net movement is the figure this record stored, measured between the two source snapshots named in the colophon. It is not the difference between two published supply levels, and it is not transaction-level mint or burn data.
Gross expansion and gross contraction are measured separately and cannot be derived from net movement alone. A record with small net movement can still carry large activity in both directions.
U.S. M2 is a monthly series published by FRED, typically lagged four to six weeks. Each record carries the reference month that was in force when it was frozen. No daily M2 value is interpolated between months.
The previous record is the previous published record in the archive, which is not always the previous calendar day. Declared archive gaps are stepped over, never closed up.
Bootstrap record. No canonical integrity block is present for this record.

Further contextDerived windows, subordinate to this record

These figures describe a window of recent canonical records, not this one. They are derived, they are not part of the frozen record, and they carry none of its guarantees.

Recent state

Recent state is unavailable because the selected record is not present in a validated canonical history window.

DDD = USD stablecoin supply ÷ U.S. M2. Numerator: total USD-denominated stablecoin supply (DeFiLlama). Denominator: U.S. M2 money stock, seasonally adjusted (FRED M2SL), typically lagged 4–6 weeks. Each record is frozen at its stated cutoff and never recomputed from live data. The /tape entry points to the latest canonical dated record. Methodology.
