80% of the illegal $2 Trillion USD cash converted into Gold and Silver instead of US stocks and Crypto ETFs

Recently, according to reports by JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs, the role of global illegal cash and black money has been attributed to the rising gold and silver prices by 2025. Goldman Sachs says GOLD is unstoppable, and it will reach $5000 per ounce by the beginning of Q1 in 2026. Gold just hit a record-high of $4500 after Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and JP Morgan forecast prices rising to $5100 per ounce by December 2026. So it has been said that by 2026, the price of Gold can even increase 3X because, for now, the politicians, banks, black money, and illegal businesses across the world are considering Gold and Silver as the best financial option. So it has also been said that in the future, the prices of Gold and Silver will register a great performance in 2026 because the world’s top investors are expecting $10 trillion cash funds to come back into Gold and Silver due to the global cash inflow going on in the US and the world.

An estimated $2 trillion of illegal cash circulation, Global Black Money and Laundered, converted into Gold and Silver instead of Bitcoin and US Stocks.

Estimating the total volume of global black money (undeclared wealth, illicit financial flows, or laundered funds) is challenging due to its hidden nature, with figures relying on indirect methodologies from organizations like the UN, IMF, and FATF. Reliable recent estimates (2024–2025) place the annual amount of money laundered worldwide at $1.6–5 trillion, representing 2–5% of global GDP (around $105–110 trillion in 2024).

• A common benchmark from the UN and IMF cites $800 billion–$2 trillion annually for laundered funds.
• Broader illicit financial flows (including tax evasion, corruption, and crime proceeds) are estimated in the multi-trillions, with some reports aggregating criminal economies at $3–5 trillion per year.

These flows include proceeds from drugs, corruption, tax evasion, and smuggling, often parked in offshore assets, real estate, or precious metals. So, due to all this, now approximately $2 trillion to $4 trillion worth of global black money (undeclared wealth, illicit financial flows, or laundered funds) is circulating in the US and Europe, so in such a situation, all these people are showing more faith in Silver and Gold than in Cash. Venezuela, Peru, Ghana, and Sub-Saharan Africa report 300 tonnes of Illegal GOLD mining, circulation, and assets holdings.

Higher expert estimates: $117 billion or more, based on ~900 tonnes of illicit gold entering markets yearly (e.g., including 300 tonnes of Russian conflict gold).Regional examples:

• Venezuela: 75 tonnes illegally extracted annually ($4.8 billion at recent prices).
• Peru: ~$3 billion from illegal mining.
• Ghana: Significant loss of tax revenue (~$2 billion annually from the informal/illegal sector).
• Sub-Saharan Africa: 32–41% of gold production potentially illicit
