I just reviewed some data that are quite revealing about how much money is in the world, and honestly, most people have no idea about these figures.



Let's start with the basics. Physical cash in circulation is just a drop in the ocean: about $9 trillion in bills and coins. Yes, you read that right, only $9 trillion. But here’s where it gets interesting.

When we talk about the real money that exists in the world (not just physical), we’re looking at a completely different figure. Bank deposits and investment funds total approximately $250 trillion. That is the true magnitude of global capital.

Now, here’s the data that changes everything. The United States controls nearly $62 trillion of that $250 trillion. China follows with around $16 trillion, and Japan rounds out the top three with $6.5 trillion. When you see these numbers, you truly understand the global geopolitical dynamics.

Those who say there’s no money for Bitcoin to keep growing simply don’t understand these proportions. We’re talking about a cryptocurrency market that barely represents a tiny fraction of this available capital. The question isn’t if there’s money, but when that money will start looking for new alternatives.

And yes, you need to pay attention to what the entity controlling most of this capital does. That’s what really matters to understand where the market will move next.
