The market has been buzzing about an interesting phenomenon these days — the total market value of silver has surpassed $3 trillion, officially overtaking Apple, now ranking third globally, only behind gold and Bitcoin.

At first glance, it’s a bit surprising, but upon reflection, what this reflects is quite worth pondering.

First, physical assets have been attracting major capital once again in the past two years. Against the backdrop of increasing economic uncertainty, the safe-haven properties of precious metals are being re-emphasized. Second, this also indicates that market risk appetite is cooling down, and risk aversion has risen to a new level. After weighing the volatility of cryptocurrencies, many funds are also beginning to reassess the allocation value of precious metals.

Honestly, it took just over a year for silver to go from being forgotten by the market to its current position. Is this a bubble inflated too much, or has the market finally recognized its true value? Opinions vary, but it’s definitely worth paying attention to. What do you think? Can this silver rally continue?

Silver surpassing Apple? We need to take a good look at this data; it might just be another case of some institution's algorithm fooling us, haha.

Silver surpassing Apple is indeed interesting, but I am more concerned about the capital flow behind it. From the growth curve of the computing power network, the true safe-haven funds are still accumulating in Bitcoin, while silver is more of an emotional fluctuation. From an ROI perspective, the investment return cycle for physical assets is too long, so it's better to focus on strategic opportunities during difficulty adjustment cycles.

Silver surpasses Apple? How is this logic calculated? It's a bit outrageous... If it really works like that, I better rush to buy bottom of gold.

Silver surpassing Apple? This data definitely warrants a question mark, it feels a bit off, could it be another trick of market cap calculation? If we’re talking about safe-haven assets, it’s better to just go all-in on Bitcoin, at least the volatility is more exciting haha The recent surge in silver is really intense, but can it continue? I’m skeptical, funds always love to chase hot spots Physical assets are indeed more attractive now, but don’t forget they can also crash, history has taught us that many times Sounds like a bubble is forming, but who can say for sure? Anyway, I still trust crypto more The fact that Apple has been surpassed feels like a signal, everyone is really shifting towards traditional assets Wait, that 3 trillion yuan figure for silver, did they sneak something into the calculation? Holding some silver isn’t a bad idea, but don’t go all-in, just look at history to know better That’s why I dislike comparing market caps, it’s too easy to create hype, it feels a bit unreal
