from Learn Finance 101 · host LearnFinance101
The financial exchange landscape of early 2026 looks nothing like the world we left at the end of the 20th century. Total global equity market capitalization sits somewhere between 120 and 130 trillion U.S. dollars according to the most recent World Federation of Exchanges and SIFMA aggregates. The forex market turns over roughly 9.6 trillion dollars per day on average - a number captured in the 2025 BIS Triennial Survey that came out last September and still feels almost surreal when you say it out loud. Cryptocurrency spot and derivatives trading adds hundreds of billions more in daily notional value on regulated and decentralized platforms combined.
