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.

Silver's market cap compared to Nvidia is still too crude of a narrative. No one clearly explains what funds are driving this wave; looking at the numbers alone without context is meaningless. --- Records of new all-time highs are refreshed every year, but the question is whether the underlying logic can hold up. --- The figure of 4.4 trillion looks shocking, but what about liquidity? This is a classic case of data illusion. --- What’s truly interesting is why everyone suddenly wants to rush into precious metals. What does this indicate? It shows that confidence in the existing financial order is collapsing. --- It's just capital rotation. When the hot spots shift, we should see how long silver can sustain. This kind of thing happens all the time. --- Investors' growing interest in alternative assets itself reflects a problem — the incentives for centralized assets have been distorted to the point of being untrustworthy. --- A 9-point increase in one day is definitely driven by someone pushing it. The question is, how long can this push last?

Is the silver price rising so rapidly? I need to quickly check if my mining fund is still there.

The recent surge in silver prices is really quite exaggerated; it feels like funds are bottom-fishing in precious metals.

Silver breaking $78 is truly incredible, this wave of gains is outrageous, brothers --- Is the market cap of silver about to catch up with Nvidia? Honestly, I find this logic a bit hard to understand... --- Whoa, 9% in a day? Has there been some new trend I haven't noticed? --- Four point four trillion, feels a bit虚... Can we really trust this? --- Here we go again, every time metal prices rise, it's called historic. Wake up, everyone --- Is this really inflation coming, or is capital just hyping things up again? --- Can an old-timer really compete with Nvidia? Is that true? --- I'm just waiting to cash out when silver takes off, hoping it doesn't plunge again --- Why is silver suddenly so popular? Seems like there are no solid fundamentals --- Capital is rotating. Today it's silver, tomorrow what? It's always just cutting the leeks
