Crypto Market Hits $3.1 Trillion, Set to Surpass France’s GDP

The crypto market has surged to a staggering $3.1 trillion, nearly matching France’s GDP. On November 12, Bitcoin led the charge, jumping nearly 25% in a week.

This puts the crypto market as the eighth-largest economy in the world, behind economic powerhouses like the United States, China, and Germany.

According to the International Monetary Fund, it would rank within the top ten, positioned between France ($3.17 trillion) and Italy ($2.38 trillion).

Leading the way in the top three are the United States ($29.17 trillion), China ($18.27 trillion), and Germany ($4.71 trillion), respectively. The best way to understand the significance of a figure like $3.1 trillion is to compare it to the value of other industries, assets, and investments.
