Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Silver surges past $81 as geopolitical rally brings it close to Nvidia’s market cap Original Link:

Key Takeaways

  • Silver has gained 14% year-to-date, rising over 6% on Tuesday above $81.
  • The rally accelerated after geopolitical tensions sparked demand for hard assets.

Silver climbed above $81 Tuesday, rising over 6% on the day and extending its 2026 gains to 14% as geopolitical tensions fueled safe-haven demand.

In 2025, silver gained 145%, briefly reaching an all-time high near $84 before retreating to $71 as the year ended. But the rally resumed as the new year began, with geopolitical tension and macro dynamics lifting hard assets.

The latest surge has brought silver’s market cap to roughly $4.5 trillion, putting it just below major tech companies, which currently sit around $4.6 trillion according to market cap data.

Silver may soon become the second-largest global asset, behind only gold, as investors increasingly turn to hard assets for protection and purchasing power preservation.

Silver is taking off directly, and now traditional assets are also starting to stir... The geopolitical situation scares everyone, and they are all rushing to safe-haven assets, which makes sense.

Silver has already risen to this level, and traditional assets are also starting to get active.

Silver has already risen this much? Luckily, I went all in on crypto early. Traditional assets are really a joke.

Silver price breaks 81? Bro, am I bottoming out or getting trapped... I’ve gone all-in on silver futures given the geopolitical situation, and breaking even is just around the corner!
