I am not anti-crypto. I think in the future most transactions would move there. But the state of the current crypto's won't get us there. If you close your eyes for a min and just think about the .com bust that is exactly what is happening here. I know of companies during that time that had nothing to do with IT and they would just announce that they are investing in IT and there stocks would triple. Read below for similar crypto news.

See this

And

https://www.garynorth.com/public/6538.cfm

TLDR:

The end of the first link provides a response from Bernanke which says that the public would still have access to the data but the fed won’t aggregate it and report it. What the OECD does is the aggregation and reporting based on the raw fed data.

The second link provides why the M3 was useless to begin with.

Hmm I'm confused in that case. Did the Fed start publishing it again? The link I provided is to the official Federal Reserve website clearly stating they are discontinuing the publication of M3.
