I think the strange thing is that M3 was such a small part of the money supply for so long! According to the Fed, M3 is M2 plus institutional money funds and certain managed liabilities of depositories, namely large time deposits, repurchase agreements, and Eurodollars.
Since Eurodollars includes dollar-denominated bank accounts held in China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, etc., that is probably a big and growing component. The growth of the repo market is another. According to this article:

the repo market is the "biggest financial market today". I always thought it was currencies though.
