Abstract generation in progress

Did you know? The total amount of all the actual circulating money in the world might be crazier than you can imagine.

Let's start by breaking down the underlying data:

Cash Level

Paper currency + coins: approximately $90 trillion

This is all the physical form of money. It sounds like a lot, but in the global financial system, it's actually just the tip of the iceberg.

The real big shot is here

Money in bank accounts: approximately 100-250 trillion USD

Demand deposits + Time deposits: approximately 1 trillion USD
Large Capital Pool + Institutional Funds: Approximately 150 trillion USD

Key Observations

If you add up all financial assets (stocks, bonds, derivatives, etc.), the number can exceed $10 trillion. But be careful—this is not “money”; this is “asset valuation”. The real money (cash + deposits) is about $15 trillion.

Who is in control of global wealth

How is the 150 trillion dollars allocated?

🇺🇸 United States: approximately 62 trillion USD (41% share) - far ahead. 🇨🇳 China: Approximately $16 trillion (accounting for 11%) 🇯🇵 Japan: Approximately $6.5 trillion (accounting for 4%)

Seeing this distribution makes it clear—whoever holds the most liquid capital can influence the direction of global finance. Want to buy the dip? Just look at what the US is doing.

This is why macro policies and Federal Reserve decisions are so important. The money is right there.
