Unless bitcoin can credibly be a total replacement for traditional finance this isn't really a meaningful comparison though.

Perhaps bitcoin or some other crypto can serve as a currency in a sense, but you'd still need financial institutions to do things like write loans and manage other assets.

Another commenter bbrought this up. I agree, it's not an apples to apples comparison, but think it would still help give a sense of scale.
