Episode notes
Liquidity Beats Naive Money-Supply Overlays
- David Duong argues liquidity is the key driver for Bitcoin and crypto prices, not naive overlays of global M2.
- Coinbase custom-weights global M2 and finds a ~110-day lag where liquidity flows correlate best with crypto moves.
December Could Flip Liquidity Bullish
- Duong expects liquidity to inflect higher in December as QT ends and rate-cut expectations rise.
- That macro shift could support a crypto recovery into year-end if markets price in Fed easing.
Use A 110-Day Liquidity Lag
- Track liquidity with a lag: Duong's regression shows ~110 days from money-supply change to market impact.
- Use that lag to time allocations into risk assets as rates and liquidity conditions evolve.
