Silver Market Sees Unprecedented Growth as ETF Assets Double

The Kobeissi Letter posted on X. Activity in the silver market has surged significantly, with assets under management (AUM) in the largest silver-backed exchange-traded fund (ETF), $SLV, doubling to $50 billion within just 100 trading sessions. This achievement marks the second-fastest growth for any U.S. ETF from $25 billion to $50 billion, trailing only the largest Bitcoin ETF, $IBIT, which reached this milestone in under 50 trading days. In contrast, the MSCI EAFE ETF, $IEFA, which tracks developed markets outside the U.S. and Canada, required approximately 270 sessions to achieve the same growth. The $SLV ETF has recorded five consecutive daily gains exceeding 3%, the longest streak since its inception in April 2006. Consequently, the weekly trading volume for $SLV has reached a record $79 billion, nearly doubling the previous peak set in 2011. The momentum in the silver market is described as unprecedented, highlighting the significant interest and activity surrounding silver investments.
