This shows that more money is circulating in the economy than ever before.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><\/figure>\n<p>Historically, rising money supply has been a \u201crisk-on\u201d signal, meaning investors are more willing to take risks.<\/p>\n<p>A clear example is the pandemic period, when M2 jumped from $15 trillion to $21 trillion. During the same time, Bitcoin saw its biggest rally, reaching $69,000 in November 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Later, in late 2025, Bitcoin again surged to a new all-time high of around $124,000, supported by continued liquidity growth.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-rising-liquidity-supports-bitcoin-price\">Why Rising Liquidity Supports Bitcoin Price<\/h3>\n<p>When liquidity increases, investors often move money into assets that can offer higher returns.
