Courtesy of CFS, here is M4 Divisia velocity (rescaled to 1967Q1=1):

If by stability, one means (deterministic) trend stationarity, then the answer is no.M4 divisia velocity fails to reject unit root (ADF w/constant, trend) null and rejects trend stationarity (KPSS). True too for conventional M2 velocity. For comparison, M2 velocity is shown in Figure 1. The same results hold for M2 velocity.As for the first difference, I don’t think either would count as stable, even if I(0). The standard deviation for differenced M4 Divisia velocity is 0.021, for M2 is 0.006. That means q/q changes (not at ARs) standard deviation is 2.1% (!). Even pre-pandemic, the former is 0.012, the latter 0.006.
