The Top 5 Altcoins Investors Are Watching as U.S. M2 Money Supply Reaches New Highs

Jakarta, Pintu News – M2 money supply in the United States has reached a new record of $22.3 trillion, with the fastest pace of growth since mid-2022. The M2 indicator includes cash, demand deposits, and easily accessible funds.

M2 is considered one of the strongest indicators to gauge the potential liquidity that will enter the market.

Historically, whenever M2 has risen, the price of Bitcoin and the crypto market as a whole has tended to rise. Conversely, when M2 growth slows, the crypto market usually falls. This simple relationship is now providing a clear signal that liquidity is just starting to come back into the system.

Analysts consider that the market has not yet fully reflected this new liquidity cycle, so current price levels are considered very important.

Solana (SOL)

Solana continues to benefit from fast and cheap transactions, as well as an extensive ecosystem that includes DeFi platforms, tokenized assets, and consumer applications.

Currently, there are seven Solana spot ETFs trading, with two more pending approval. The Bitwise SOL ETF has been the most popular so far. Total assets under management by all Solana ETFs are close to $900 million.

With the SOL price hovering around $135, analysts think that the Solana network is poised to absorb new capital inflows if market liquidity returns.

SUI

The Sui Network (SUI) set new records in DeFi activity, including transaction volumes on DEX that have surpassed $175 billion. The ecosystem continues to grow with support from Mysten Labs and the expansion of an active developer community.

This makes Sui one of the new networks that is expected to benefit if money supply (M2) increases.

XRP

Ripple’s XRP token already has five spot ETFs already trading and three more are in the approval process. The total assets under management by all XRP ETFs is close to $1 billion, with about $478 million in XRP locked in ETF vaults – equivalent to about 0.5% of the total token supply.

However, XRP still faces long-standing concerns regarding the token release schedule, as only 60% of the total supply of 100 billion tokens is circulating in the market. Even so, historically XRP tends to perform strongly when liquidity increases, so it is expected to follow the upward trend of M2.

Chainlink (LINK)

Chainlink has just launched its first spot ETF through Grayscale, which saw an immediate inflow of $37 million on the first day of trading. A second ETF from Bitwise is also in the process of launching.

Chainlink’s CCIP system now supports more than 70 blockchains and plays an important role in the process of tokenizing real-world assets.

A number of large institutions, including BlackRock, are getting involved in tokenized assets and leveraging Chainlink’s infrastructure. With LINK priced at around $14, many analysts consider the token to be undervalued, especially given its strategic role in growing institutional blockchain activity.

Ethereum (ETH)

Ethereum remains the second largest crypto ETF market after Bitcoin. The latest Fusaka upgrade has improved the speed, cost efficiency, and scalability of the Ethereum network.

The Layer-2 network is now paying more fees to Ethereum, which also increases the burn rate of ETH, thus reinforcing the hope of ETH’s return to a deflationary trend.

Renowned fund manager Tom Lee continues to buy large amounts of ETH, and currently holds around 3.5 million ETH worth approximately $11 billion. Lee has even set a long-term price target of $62,000 per ETH, although this is still highly dependent on global liquidity conditions going forward.
