Right, and I haven't seen estimates for the resource intensity of traditional finance. (We do have good estimates of the total volume of traditional finance, so an estimate of the total resource usage of traditional finance would be just as good as resource intensity)

I don't know how one goes about measuring resource usage, to be honest. I suppose you can make an inventory of all the resources that have been used by a particular industry over a period of time, but this isn't a single number that can be used to compare the resource intensities of different industries.
