šØ Silver Squeeze: Why Prices Are Exploding ā and Why Crypto Should Care šØ
Binance fam, silver is on fire š„ ā up 150%+ in 2025, ripping to new record highs around $80ā84/oz. This isnāt random. Itās a perfect storm:
š§ Supply Shock Ahead
China has announced silver export controls starting Jan 1, 2026 ā licenses only for major producers. With China controlling 60ā70% of global supply, the market is already deep in deficit (demand exceeding supply by 100ā250M oz). Inventories across COMEX, London, and Shanghai are draining fast.
š¦ Central Banks Loading Up
As de-dollarization accelerates, countries like China, India, Turkey, Poland, and others are stacking gold and silver aggressively. BRICS nations are hedging fiat risk with hard assets ā gold reserves are at levels not seen since the 1960s.
š„ Speculation Reset in China
Retail frenzy pushed silver ETF premiums to extremes ā until regulators stepped in. Funds blocked new inflows, triggering a sharp 10% flush, but the structural supply issue remains intact.
š Big picture:
This isnāt just a metals story ā itās a broader shift toward real assets in a world of geopolitical risk and monetary uncertainty. For crypto holders, this puts tokenized gold/silver and hard-asset hedges firmly on the radar.
