How much real money exists in the world?

A question that many ask when talking about the future of Bitcoin: is there enough money for it to continue growing?

The answer is in the numbers:

Circulating money:

  • Physical cash: ~9 trillion USD
  • Money in bank accounts: ~100-150 trillion USD

Total real money: approximately 150 trillion USD

Now comes the interesting part: the U.S. controls almost 62 trillion (41% of the total), China has ~16 trillion, and Japan ~6.5 trillion.

Why does this matter for crypto? Because when you see that there are only ~150 trillion “real” money in the world, but global financial assets exceed 1 quintillion ( stocks, bonds, derivatives ), you understand that most of it is just numbers on a screen.

Bitcoin with its current market capitalization? It's barely a drop. The space to grow exists, the question is where the capital flows.
