SILVER BULLION topped $60 per ounce for the first time in history late in London on Tuesday, driving down the relative price of 'safe haven' gold to its lowest value in terms of the industrially useful precious metal since July 2021.
With gold trading at $4217 per Troy ounce this afternoon as silver spiked towards $60.47, the Gold/Silver Ratio dipped beneath 70 for the first time in 53 months.
Widely seen as a barometer of investment fear versus economic growth, the ratio of gold to silver prices per ounce averaged 67.6 in the 2010s, rising to 82.5 between 2020 and 2024 and then rising again to 89.2 so far across 2025.
"Ultimately," says the latest note from analysts SFA (Oxford) for German precious metals refiners Heraeus, "silver is a higher beta, ie more volatile, investment than gold.
"The drivers of the gold price − namely, economic and geopolitical concerns, US fiscal and monetary policy, central banks cutting interest rates, and their impact on the US Dollar − will also influence the silver price."
Today's jump in the silver price, up 2.5% in US Dollar terms inside 70 minutes, came after delayed 'Jolts' data following this fall's record-long US government shutdown said job openings in the world's largest economy rose in both September and October
Tomorrow's meeting of the US Federal Reserve still carries a 9-in-10 chance of bringing a cut to interest rates, according to positioning in the Fed Funds futures market tracked by derivatives exchange the CME.
US financial giant Citi now forecasts silver prices hitting $62 per ounce by March "on the back of Fed cuts, robust investment demand, and a physical deficit" between global mining supply and overall demand.
Buoyed by growing electricals and electronics use in AI data centers, silver's industrial demand is likely to touch a new all-time high across 2025, according to specialist analysts Metals Focus.
But its total demand from the photovoltaic solar energy sector will probably show a small drop as the industry works to reduce silver loadings still further from the 90% drop seen since the precious metal peaked at $50 per ounce silver in 2011.

The rankings show a clear trend inside Asia: South Asia is driving the highest levels of crypto adoption. India and Pakistan take the top two spots, reflecting how deeply digital assets have integrated into everyday financial activity in the region. These markets rely heavily on stablecoins for remittances, savings, and cross-border payments, which pushes adoption far ahead of many neighboring countries.
Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines all appear in the top five, highlighting Southeast Asia as a strong pocket of crypto usage. This region has some of the most mobile-native, digitally engaged populations in the world, making it one of the fastest-growing crypto user bases in Asia. Stablecoin transfers, P2E gaming, and micro-investing continue to fuel adoption across these countries.
The chart also reveals a big spread between the highest and lowest-adopting countries in Asia. While India, Pakistan, and Vietnam sit at the top, countries like Brunei, Laos, and Bahrain fall to the bottom of the list. These differences often come down to regulation, financial access, and how open each market is to digital assets. Asia is far from uniform adoption varies widely depending on local conditions.
The Middle East shows a very mixed picture in the rankings. Turkey and Yemen have surprisingly strong adoption — Turkey driven by inflation pressure, and Yemen likely reflecting informal, high-volume stablecoin usage in an economy with limited banking access. Meanwhile, Bahrain, and Oman sit at the lower end of the index, reflecting more conservative regulation and slower retail usage. Even within sub-regions, adoption patterns differ heavily.
China appearing near the middle of the rankings is notable given its strict crypto environment. Despite heavy restrictions on trading, mining, and exchanges, the country still shows measurable adoption — likely driven by OTC activity, stablecoin usage, and underground retail participation. It’s a reminder that user behavior doesn’t always align perfectly with regulation.

$USDT is one of the oldest and largest U.S. dollar–pegged stablecoins, designed to maintain a 1:1 value with the dollar through asset-backed reserves.
As of Q3 2025, USDT has $174.4B in liabilities and $181.2B in total assets, resulting in a surplus of roughly $6.7B. This surplus indicates that Tether holds more assets than the value of USDT in circulation.
The reserves backing USDT are primarily made up of cash and cash equivalents, which account for 77.2% of the total. The remaining assets include 8% in secured loans, 7.1% in precious metals, 5.4% in Bitcoin, and 2.1% in other investments.

The crypto industry is experiencing a historic consolidation wave in 2025.
M&A activity has surged to 292 deals year-to-date, marking a 54% increase from 2024's 190 deals. This represents the highest transaction volume since the 2022 bull market peak, signaling a fundamental shift from speculative growth to strategic infrastructure building.
Coinbase's $2.9B acquisition of crypto options exchange, Deribit dominates the year's dealmaking, reflecting major exchanges' push into derivatives markets. Ripple has been equally aggressive, deploying $2.45B across three strategic purchases: HiddenRoad, GTreasury, and rail - to build end-to-end payment infrastructure. Kraken's acquisitions of NinjaTrader ($1.5B) and The Small Exchange ($0.1B) further demonstrate the race to capture traditional finance users.
This consolidation trend reveals an industry entering its maturation phase. Rather than launching new protocols, established players are acquiring regulated entities, trading infrastructure, and compliance tools. The focus has shifted from disruption to integration - a necessary evolution as institutional adoption accelerates.
