What Bitcoin did for money, Artfi is doing for fine art.
>Bitcoin vs Fine Art — two trillion-dollar asset classes.>
One digital. One timeless.
But they couldn’t be more different in how they behave, grow, and hold value.
1. Bitcoin
• Launched: 2009
• Current Market Cap (April 2025): ~$1.68 trillion
• Nature: Highly liquid, speculative, digital asset class
• Holders: Millions globally, from retail to institutions
• Peak: Touched $2T+ during bull cycles (2021, 2024)
⸻
2. Fine Art & Collectibles
• Annual Market Volume: ~$57–65 billion (global fine art sales annually)
• Total Asset Class Value: Over $1.7 trillion (estimated including fine art, rare collectibles, jewelry, vintage watches, classic cars, etc.)
• Art alone: ~$1.5 trillion
• Collectibles (watches, wine, sports memorabilia, etc.): ~$200–300 billion
• Nature: Illiquid, historically resilient, culturally valued
• Holders: Ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), museums, institutions, and now increasingly fractionalized for public access

Key Insight:
While Bitcoin created a new asset class in just 15 years, fine art and collectibles have preserved generational wealth for centuries.
Today, both stand as trillion-dollar markets — one digital, the other physical — ripe for convergence through tokenization.
Why Artfi?
Turning masterpieces into assets — accessible, liquid, global!
We’re not just tokenizing art.
We’re opening the museum to the world.
