What is the actual amount of global real currency reserves?
You may have heard the argument "No money to let Bitcoin To da moon," but after looking at this set of data, you will understand — there is actually an absurd amount of money.
Current Status of Global Currency Distribution
Cash Level (banknotes + coins): about 9 trillion dollars, this is the money that physically exists.
Banking System:
Key Figures: The total actual liquid funds worldwide are about 150 trillion dollars.
Who controls the world's money?
This is the most interesting part——
🇺🇸 United States: $62 trillion (approximately 41%) 🇨🇳 China: $16 trillion (about 11%) 🇯🇵 Japan: $6.5 trillion (about 4%)
The rest is scattered across other countries. In other words, a single company in the United States controls nearly half of the global liquidity.
Don't be fooled by "Total Asset Value"
It is important to distinguish clearly here—global financial assets (stocks, bonds, derivatives, etc.) exceed 10 trillion USD, but that is all book value, not real cash. The real "money" (cash + non-cash deposits) is only 150 trillion.
Conclusion: Market liquidity is much richer than you think; technological advancements and policy adjustments are the real factors limiting the growth of crypto assets, not "lack of money".
