The Deutsche Mark is nice example, because
it was also a currency globally used.

Before the switch to the euro, the
Deutsche Mark was the largest international
reserve currency after the United States dollar.

After the switch from Deutche Mark to
Euro the impact was around 25%, it now
dropped to 20%, what concerns foreign exchange

reserves. But this is only foreign exchange
reserves, if you look outside of foreign exchanges
reserves I find (according to ChatGPT in 2023):

           M1             M2
USD       2.3 trillion   21 trillion
EUR       1.6 trillion   15 trillion

So the gap is smaller between USD and EUR.
What about crypto, like BTC and ETH?

           M1             M2
ETH       $526.5 billion ?
BTC       $193.6 billion ?

But there were rumors of "paper BTC",
and thus M2 crypto money. EU is currently
working on Markets in Crypto-Assets

Regulation (MiCA). Not sure whether the
idea would be to forbid M2. But M2 looks
like a logical development of any

currency that is used in a enconomy with
value creation. So while cripto was initially
peer to peer payment, it might have already

been evolved to something else with new
technologies such as Stablecoins, DeFi
Platforms, etc.. Idioyncratic especially

MiCA seems to dream a dream of Stablecoins
pegged to a fiat.
