I just came across an interesting market data point: the market capitalization of silver has surpassed $4.48 trillion, officially overtaking Apple to become the third largest asset globally. What does this reflect?

Let's take a look at the crypto market side. Coins like ZEC, ZEN, and AT have been quietly gaining strength recently, and market sentiment is slowly warming from the bottom. Some say the altcoin season is coming soon—should we pay attention to this signal?

The breakthrough of silver essentially reflects a re-pricing process of traditional assets. From the perspective of Web3 and crypto assets, a similar revaluation cycle is also brewing—starting from the mainstream coin rally driven by Bitcoin and Ethereum, gradually spreading to small and medium-cap coins. History always follows certain patterns. What will the US stock market look like in 2026, and what factors will influence on-chain ecosystems? These are worth pondering.

ZEC3,87%

AT22,05%

BTC0,41%

The silver breakthrough and surpassing Apple... To put it simply, it's about inflation expectations being re-priced, and traditional assets are struggling. But the real value logic still depends on what on-chain data says. Privacy coins like ZEC have indeed become interesting recently, and I've already allocated my holdings. It all depends on how the US stock market performs in 2026. Whether the clone season comes or not depends on how BTC stabilizes at the breakout point—don't rush to take over positions blindly.

Silver surpassing Apple? This data needs to be verified, it feels a bit off, but it does reflect a signal of asset revaluation. After hearing so much about copycat seasons, let's wait and see the moves of Bitcoin and Ethereum first. When following small altcoins, be prepared to cut losses. 2026 US stocks? It's too early to start predicting now. Better to focus on what the Federal Reserve will do in the second half of the year. Mainstream coins driving small coins—this logic has been talked about for years. When it actually happens, it still catches people off guard. Why have coins like ZEC been moving recently? The market is like that—one rebound and stories start to emerge. Wake up. Revaluation cycles are too vague; it's more practical to look at on-chain data and on-chain ecosystem activity. As for the silver thing, I think it has nothing to do with the crypto market. Don't try to link everything to Web3.

Silver surpassing Apple is something to think about. Traditional assets are being re-priced, and our on-chain side is definitely getting restless. Shanzhai season? Don't rush, first see if the mainstream coins are stable. If small-cap coins really explode, they’ll have to wait for the big players to flood the market. Privacy coins like ZEC have been interesting lately, but don’t get carried away by emotions. Let the accumulation at the bottom happen; when the time comes, you'll see them run out on their own. History has patterns? That also depends on how the Federal Reserve plays it. 2026 is still far away. First, focus on the current market trend. There are too many factors in the on-chain ecosystem, but honestly, where big funds flow is the key. Everything else is just stories. The revaluation cycle spreading from large coins to small coins makes sense, but following the trend makes you a leek. Those who understand have already been prepared. Silver can break through and rise, but the waters in crypto are too deep. Don’t be fooled by the data claiming it’s surpassing Apple. The crypto world is always a game for the few.

The story of silver surpassing Apple... Wait, is this data real? I need to verify it. Altcoin excitement is quite interesting, but this wave might not really be altcoin season; it could just be speculation and expectations. In the end, it's still about whether BTC can hold the key support level; everything else is just clouds.

Silver surpassing Apple? That would require quite a bit of inflation, that's a bit outrageous. How can I trust altcoins when mainstream coins haven't even taken off yet? Historical patterns aren't that accurate either; the crypto circle's tricks are too deep. Wait, is ZEC really accumulating? I need to check on-chain data before saying more. It's too early to talk about 2026, let's focus on this year first. Silver rising so much actually makes me more cautious; it's often a sign of a trap to lure more buyers. Mainstream coins haven't broken through, so don't expect the altcoin season to come. Wake up. Repricing sounds nice, but basically it's just a way to cut profits. Can the crypto market this time compare to traditional assets? The landscape is different. Small and medium-cap coins spreading? I think it's highly likely they'll become secondary market harvesters for retail investors.
