Silver’s Scarcity Comes From Its Dual Identity

[nihalsari]

Silver defies simple scarcity narratives because it sits at the intersection of finance and industry. Unlike Bitcoin’s fixed issuance or gold’s reserve role, silver’s scarcity is shaped by industrial demand, including electronics, solar panels and advanced manufacturing.

This dual role makes silver’s pricing more volatile. Industrial demand can tighten supply even when investor interest fades, while speculative flows can amplify price swings despite modest physical shortages. In 2026, silver’s scarcity often reveals itself through sudden repricing events rather than slow, steady appreciation.
