January 1, 2026 2 min read

Top Assets by Market Size

Today, the world’s top assets are ranked by market size. This ranking includes public companies, precious metals, cryptocurrencies, and ETFs.

Market size helps us understand how big an asset really is and where most money is going. When we compare market size, we can clearly see which assets people trust and invest in the most.

Gold at the Top

Gold stands at the top of the list with a market size of around 31 trillion dollars. This value comes from the total gold already mined, multiplied by its current price of around 4,500 dollars. Gold is the biggest asset in the world because it is limited and trusted. Central banks across countries are buying gold, which keeps its value strong.

Big Tech Companies Follow

After gold, the second largest asset is Nvidia with a market size of about 4.4 trillion dollars. Its value has grown very fast in a short time. Apple comes next with around 4 trillion dollars. Below them are companies like Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon. All these are public companies from the US markets and attract huge investment.

Silver’s Fast Rise

Silver is close to 4 trillion dollars in market size and has seen a sharp price jump recently. Its price has risen more than 10 percent in a short time. Because of this, silver has moved above Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and even Apple. It is now close to Nvidia, which shows strong money flow into silver.

Bitcoin Still Smaller

Bitcoin has a market size of about 1.8 trillion dollars. Even after many years of strong promotion and support, it is still much smaller than gold, silver, and top tech companies. While it is an important asset, it has not reached the level many expected when compared to other large assets.

What the Ranking Shows

This ranking clearly shows where money is moving. Assets that move up the list are getting more investment. Gold has grown from around 15 to 18 trillion dollars a year and a half ago to 31 trillion dollars today. Silver is also moving up very fast. This tells us that money is flowing strongly into precious metals.
