Since the previous record

27 July 2026 is the previous published record, 1 day earlier. Both records are frozen; the change below is the difference between two figures that were each written once and are never revised.

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.4 see note 4

What did not change

  • the stored U.S. M2 denominator
  • the M2 reference month (May 2026)
  • the record schema (version 8)
  • the public expression (1 in 75)
  • the Signal rules version (v5)

What moved

Net movement is what the record stored between its two source snapshots. Gross expansion and gross contraction are measured separately and cannot be derived from net alone, and both are printed here because a share of net is not a share of the activity behind it.

Measurement chain continues from the previous record. The two identifiers agree: this record starts where the previous record finished.

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

Agreement check

Whether the parts this record stored sum to the whole it published, against the tolerance the record itself stored. No threshold is invented at render time.

The hash attests that these stored bytes are unchanged since the record was frozen. It does not attest that the source figure was right; the archive keeps those two claims separate.

Notes

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. A contributor’s share of net movement is a share of the residual net figure, not of the day’s gross activity. Both are printed together wherever a share appears, because a contributor can represent almost all of a small net figure while being a modest part of the activity behind it.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

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
Latest 7 canonical records
Net movement−$460.3M
Gross movement$4.07B
Net share of movement11.3%
Supply range$308.27B – $310.54B

Net movement as a share of all up-and-down movement across the latest 7 canonical records. This window does not measure persistence or establish a trend.

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.
