Silver just hit a historic milestone—prices climbed 9% today and broke through $78/oz for the first time ever. The precious metal market is heating up.

Here's what caught people's attention: silver's now valued at $4.4 trillion, sitting just 4.5% behind Nvidia in the global asset rankings. That's wild when you think about it—a metal that's been traded for thousands of years is now comparable in market cap to one of the biggest tech companies on the planet.

Whether this is about inflation hedging, industrial demand, or just capital rotation into alternative assets, the momentum is real. The gap between silver and the second-largest asset keeps narrowing, making traders and investors across all markets take notice.
