In my opinion, it should be adjusted for m2 (money supply). Inflation hasn’t gone up as fast as the money supply and I think it makes more sense to use that when comparing bank assets.

Yes, this! Inflation is the lazy man's adjustment. It works okay in the short term (good for Fed policymaking) but grossly overstates the utility of a dollar in the medium to long term.
