1. Total Cryptocurrency Market Cap
As of May 2025, the total crypto market capitalization is approximately $2.9 to $3.29 trillion.
This includes Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, altcoins, and all other digital assets.
2. Total Gold Market Value
The estimated total above-ground gold is about 208,000 metric tons (World Gold Council estimate).
At a gold price of around $2,300 per ounce:
1 metric ton = 32,150.7 troy ounces
Total gold value = 208,000 × 32,150.7 × $2,300
That equals roughly $15.4 trillion in total value.
Comparison
Metric Value (approx.)
Total Crypto Market Cap $2.5 trillion
Total Gold Market Value $15.4 trillion
Crypto as % of Gold Value ~16%
So, the crypto market is currently about one-sixth the size of the total gold market in terms of estimated market value.
