SILVER SOARS AND BREAKS US$ 60
Silver has started to shine again with strength. The price has surpassed US$ 60.67 per troy ounce, advancing +4.32% on the day, an explosive movement that consolidates the metal as one of the best-performing assets of 2025. This surge is not an isolated event, as it reflects a set of factors that have been accumulating silently, until now. The combination of record industrial demand, driven by solar energy, electronics, and defense sectors, coupled with historically low stocks and a global monetary cycle heading towards interest rate cuts, is pressuring supply and reigniting investor enthusiasm. Additionally, geopolitical tensions and the quest for protection in real assets further strengthen silver's position, which simultaneously exists as an industrial commodity and a store of value, a rare dual role among metals. The breaking of US$ 60 is not just a graphical milestone, it is a signal that the market may be entering a new structural phase of repricing, where the previously undervalued metal begins to claim its true worth in the global financial landscape.

Silver surpasses US$ 59.300 and hits a new historical record
Today, the price of silver reached a new historical peak, exceeding US$ 59.300 per ounce, driven by a combination of restricted supply, strong industrial demand, and expectations of interest rate cuts in the US. This jump marks a year of staggering appreciation: the accumulated increase in 2025 exceeds 100%, consolidating silver as one of the strongest assets in the precious metals segment during this cycle. With global stocks increasingly scarce and rising demand for applications in technology and clean energy, analysts are closely watching whether the metal can test new levels in the coming days, including the zone of US$ 60–65/oz.

Silver Soars in 2025 While Savings Sink into Stagnation
Throughout the eleven months of 2025, the trajectory of silver revealed the distance between real assets and the eternal lethargy of savings accounts. While the precious metal accumulated an impressive appreciation, around 67%, driven by industrial demand, the global search for protection against inflation, and the growing perception that physical metals provide refuge amid geopolitical instability, savings continued to deliver meager returns, unable to outpace inflation or preserve the purchasing power of Brazilians, around 7%. In a year of monetary uncertainties, rising deficits, and compressed real interest rates, silver demonstrated why attentive investors migrate to scarce and global assets, while savings remain a symbol of financial stagnation, serving more to psychological comfort than to real asset growth.

Trump closes Venezuelan airspace - Maduro retaliates by punishing airline companies - The Venezuelan people rush to Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold, and silver.
Nicolás Maduro's gesture of revoking the operating licenses of airlines such as Gol, LATAM, Iberia, TAP, Avianca, and Turkish Airlines reveals the growing tension between Venezuela and the international community, turning a security alert from the United States, followed by the temporary suspension of flights, into a political retaliation act by the regime. By punishing companies that only sought to protect their passengers and crews, Maduro deepens the country's isolation, harms thousands of travelers, and tries to project strength in the face of internal institutional collapse. The measure, presented by the government as a defense of sovereignty, in practice exacerbates Venezuela's already precarious international connectivity and reinforces the environment of unpredictability that drives away investments, tourists, and diplomatic partners, pushing the country further into a cycle of forced self-sufficiency and geopolitical dependency.

The PT Wants Your Bitcoin: From "Combating Crime" to the Tax That Bleeds the Brazilian Investor
Bill 5.582/2025, sent by the Lula government under the pretext of "legalizing the liquidation of cryptocurrencies seized from organized crime," is yet another proof that when the PT claims to target criminals, it is the ordinary citizen trying to build wealth outside of state constraints who ends up in the line of fire. The strategy is always the same: to dress the noble discourse of public security to, in practice, expand the State's reach over any form of economic freedom, including decentralized assets like Bitcoin. And to complete the package, the government confirms a 15% tax on gains in cryptocurrencies, punishing exactly those who innovate, venture, and seek financial protection in a system that the PT itself insists on deteriorating. While the competitive world reduces barriers and attracts talent, Brazil chooses to scare off investors, stifle technology, and monitor honest citizens as if they were the true enemy. Here, the message is clear: in Lula's Brazil, even the Bitcoin of "criminals" becomes a pretext, but the bill always falls on the shoulders of the middle class.

The Fear of Bankers and the Silent Collapse of the Fiat System
The unease of bankers in the face of the question "where will the R$ 40 billion of the Credit Guarantee Fund go in the case of Banco Master, now under liquidation by the Central Bank?" exposes an inconvenient truth: the much-celebrated traditional financial system is fragile, opaque, and capable of generating risks as severe as any so-called "volatile" asset. When a bank fails, panic spreads, the FGC becomes an improvised savior, and confidence in the fiat model, based on increasing debts, state bailouts, and systemic risk, shows its cracks. In such a scenario, it is ironic that they still criticize those who invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies, transparent, auditable assets independent of this centralized mechanism that relies on patchwork. The truth is simple: in today's world, the risk is not in having crypto; the risk is in blindly depending on a fiat system that has already proven, once again, that it can collapse without warning.

Generation Z Without Homes, With Crypto — The Imminent Outcome of a Broken Economy
A recent report from the Financial Times reveals that the global real estate crisis has pushed Generation Z into a brutal crossroads: unable to buy a home and seeing the cost of living soar, many young people are adopting cryptocurrencies as a mix of hope, silent revolt, and economic nihilism. The FT highlights that, faced with a system that denies them property and future, they are resorting to high-risk financial strategies, not only out of greed but because the traditional path of social mobility has been blocked. Without access to the real estate market and disillusioned by the economic promises made by previous generations, they are turning Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the like into a sort of "last open door," a cry against a model that no longer works for them and that is now reaping the consequences of this generational rupture.

The Dawn is Asian: Silver Rises When the West Sleeps
While London tries to hold the price of silver with manipulations and very short-term operations, the market gives its daily lesson in real economy: when dawn arrives and Asia awakens, physical demand explodes and the metal soars, like today, with a rise of 1.71% before sunrise in the West. It is the clash between two forces: on one side, western derivatives trying to impose an artificial price; on the other, millions of Asian buyers accumulating physical silver, where there is no narrative that can hold. The law of supply and demand is inexorable, and always wins. If the eastern pressure continues, London may even try to hold, but the metal tends to follow its natural trajectory: upwards.

As Bolivia opens the crypto vault, Lula's Brazil closes the doors
The recent regulatory turnaround in Bolivia, which reversed prohibitions and now incorporates cryptocurrencies and stablecoins into the formal financial system, allowing banks to offer accounts, cards, and loans linked to crypto, marks a strong signal of liberalization and the search for new alternatives in the face of crisis, inflation, and scarcity of foreign currency. On the other hand, in Brazil, authorities are taking the opposite approach: the Central Bank and the Federal Revenue Service have tightened the regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, requiring authorization for service providers, mandating detailed transaction declarations via the new "DeCripto" and aligning rules with international oversight under the global CARF standard. This contrast reveals opposing views: Bolivia bets on crypto as an economic escape valve and financial inclusion, while Brazil seeks to control the use of crypto as a financial mechanism, reinforcing traceability and intimidation.

Galípolo, the "Unlikely Hawk" who Disconcerted Right and Left
Galípolo, now president of the Central Bank, completely surprised both the right and the left by maintaining an extremely tight monetary policy, defying expectations of immediate easing after the departure of Roberto Campos Neto. While the market anticipated a more "dovish" turn, Galípolo proved to be a true guardian of stability, preserving high interest rates to curb persistent inflationary pressures and shield the institutional credibility of the Central Bank. The result was a political shock: the right, which feared a lulista takeover, swallowed hard upon seeing the new president operate with a firmer hand than many conservatives; while the left, which was betting on a rapid reduction of interest rates to boost growth and relieve the government, was frustrated by the clear message that the autonomy of the Central Bank would not be merely formal, but practical. Galípolo thus emerged as the "unlikely hawk", showing that monetary policy has no ideology, it has consequences.

The Escape to Paraguay: When Rule 10.10.10 Buries the Leftist Taxation
While the Lula government tightens the tax grip against stock and cryptocurrency investors, turning Brazil into a true fiscal minefield, thousands of Brazilians discover in Paraguay a strategic and legal refuge with Rule 10.10.10, a simple, predictable, and infinitely friendlier tax structure than the voracious leftist tax collection. The migration of traders, crypto holders, and entrepreneurs is no coincidence: it is financial survival. Instead of encouraging innovation, the PT prefers to stifle those who produce, saving only the political elite that thrives on others' taxes. Result? Paraguay becomes the new hub of economic freedom in the region, while Brazil, in the hands of the PT, exports talent, capital, and dreams.

Lula wants more Bitcoin
With the submission to Congress of Bill 5.582/2025 to legalize the settlement of seized cryptocurrencies, the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva shows that, under the guise of "combating organized crime", the real target is the pocket of the investor and the working citizen. The official discourse claims that the targets are criminals, but those who live in the real world know that when the State enters through a door "against bandits", it usually exits through the gate of the middle classes seeking financial freedom. The PT takes the opportunity to expand its reach and control, even over the most decentralized assets, while pretending to be a savior and demonizing those who try to build wealth away from the state payroll.

The New Digital Confiscation of the PT: Even Stablecoins Have Become Targets
The Lula Government, thirsty for more money to sustain its bloated machinery, now targets even stablecoins, precisely the safe haven for Brazilians seeking protection against the petista fiscal spree. The same government that distributes benefits to maintain its loyal political base decides to punish those who work, invest, and seek financial freedom, imposing taxes even on stable currencies like USDT and USDC. It is the old logic of the PT: those who produce pay the bill, while the State expands without limits. In the end, the investor becomes an enemy, and the taxpayer becomes the government's preferred wallet.

PT Opens Up to Cryptocurrency Investors
The Lula government has decided that the cost of populism will fall on those who invest and produce, as with the increase in taxes on cryptocurrencies, the PT aims directly at the fastest-growing sector in the country, draining resources from investors to fund the free gas program promised to 15 million families. While punishing those who undertake and seek alternatives outside the stagnant economy, the government attempts to mask the lack of management with benefits financed by others' pockets, a typical maneuver of the PT, which prefers to stifle innovation and investment to sustain policies that ensure a platform, but not progress.

Lula's government confirms a 15% tax on cryptocurrencies
Once again, the Brazilian investor is punished, as while the world advances to encourage innovation, Brazil chooses to tax those who undertake and seek financial protection. The 15% charge on gains from crypto discourages technology, drives away capital, and pushes talents out of the country.

Launch of a new era brand for the memecoin Dogecoin in the institutional market
The Grayscale spot-ETF, named GDOG, began trading this Monday on the NYSE Arca, offering institutional and retail investors direct exposure to Dogecoin, which had been treated as an "internet meme currency" until now. Despite the symbolic listing, the immediate impact on the price of DOGE was limited, reflecting the skepticism of part of the market regarding the official entry of memecoins into the traditional investment environment.

Payment of the FGC to Investors of the Master Should Provide Fiscal Relief to the Federal Government
The start of the payment of up to R$ 250 million per investor by the Credit Guarantee Fund (FGC) to clients affected by the liquidation of Banco Master will have a significant side effect: the collection of Income Tax on the refunded amounts, especially in cases where there are accumulated earnings. Although the FGC acts to protect the financial system and small investors, the taxation imposed on these compensations increases federal revenue precisely at a time of strong fiscal pressure, contributing to temporarily relieve the government's cash flow. This mechanism turns a banking crisis into an unexpected opportunity to boost revenues, even if it does not solve the structural challenges of public accounts.

Dollar in Strong Rise Pressures the Brazilian Economy
The surge in future dollar, which today rises 1.45% and reaches R$ 5,41, raises a warning signal about the immediate impacts on the Brazilian economy. The appreciation of the North American currency makes imports more expensive, from fuels to industrial inputs, increasing production costs and putting pressure on inflation. Furthermore, it raises uncertainty for investors, reduces appetite for risk, and may delay plans for foreign investment in the country. For consumers, the effect arrives quickly: airfares, electronic products, and medications tend to become more expensive, while the Central Bank may be forced to adopt a more conservative monetary stance, complicating the reduction of interest rates in the short term.

Argentina becomes the new global heart of Ethereum
The latest edition of Devconnect ARG, held at the La Rural exhibition center in Buenos Aires, stood out as a historic milestone for the Ethereum ecosystem. With around 20,000 participants from 130 countries, including over 10,000 Argentinians and another 1,800 visitors from Latin American nations, the event set a new record for a conference organized by the Ethereum Foundation. This impressive number of participants indicates that Argentina was not just an occasional host but rather a new regional epicenter of innovation in Web3.
The program featured an impressive variety of activities: 79 projects displayed, 40 official on-site events, hundreds of workshops and meetups spread across the city, and more than 5,000 developers involved, along with students and educators who participated in partnership with the local Ministry of Education. Among the notable speakers were heavyweights from the ecosystem, such as Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum; Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs; and Roger Dingledine, creator of Tor, solidifying the meeting as one of the most important in the history of Devconnect.
More than just numbers, Devconnect ARG left a clear message: Latin America has ceased to be a supporting player in the crypto revolution and has taken on a leading role. Argentina has demonstrated technical talent, academic strength, skilled developers, and a vibrant community, establishing the country as a true regional technological hub for Ethereum and the entire decentralized ecosystem. $ETH
