While everyone was watching Bitcoin crash, the quietest asset in the room just went parabolic. In December 2025, Silver prices shattered their 45-year record, soaring past $60 an ounce—a 100% gain this year alone.
In this deep dive, we break down exactly why silver is exploding. It's not just a hype rally; it's a "perfect storm" of physics and finance. From the massive "Short Squeeze" breaking the paper market to the solar energy industry consuming 20% of global supply, we explain why the world is running out of the one metal it needs to go green.
