Silver Is Soaring, Can Tokenized Silver Amplify Leverage Further?

Silver prices have surged dramatically, breaking historical records by surpassing $117 per ounce and achieving a cumulative gain of approximately 517% since 2017—outperforming both Bitcoin and gold. With a market cap of around $6.18 trillion, silver is now the second most valuable asset globally after gold. This explosive growth has increased interest in tokenized silver as an alternative investment, particularly through leveraged contracts on exchanges and perpetual decentralized platforms (Perp DEX). Currently, the tokenized silver market has a total capitalization of about $446 million. Two tokens dominate in terms of liquidity: - **Kinesis Silver (KAG)**, with a market cap of $406 million, is backed by physically allocated and audited silver, each token representing one ounce. - **iShares Silver Trust (SLV)**, with a $39.5 million market cap, is tied to BlackRock’s SLV ETF and allows instant creation/redemption for non-U.S. users. Both tokens are traded on multiple centralized exchanges, and SLV also supports futures with up to 10x leverage. For higher leverage, platforms like Hyperliquid, Binance, and Bitget offer silver perpetual contracts with up to 20x leverage. Hyperliquid’s SILVER/USDC pair alone has seen over $1 billion in 24-hour trading volume. The rally is driven by expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts, silver’s new classification as a critical mineral (raising potential tariffs), geopolitical tensions, and its role as a more accessible safe-haven asset compared to gold. Analysts suggest the bullish trend may continue amid ongoing macroeconomic and political uncertainty.

2026 Outlook: The Next Phase of Quantitative Trading and Structural Opportunities in Alternative Assets

The 2025/2026 China Quantitative Investment Summit highlighted key shifts in the quant industry. Traditional alpha is diminishing, prompting a move toward greater flexibility, domain-specific modeling, and advanced AI applications. Large language models (LLM), particularly the "Order as Token" concept, are revolutionizing trading by predicting price movements as sequences, similar to NLP models predicting words. Concurrently, alternative assets like cryptocurrencies are gaining institutional interest due to their low correlation with traditional markets and high alpha potential. Strategies such as funding rate arbitrage in crypto perpetual contracts offer market-neutral returns. In 2026, quant strategies will emphasize dynamism, anti-fragility, and dynamic asset allocation to manage crowding risks. Structured products with capital protection features will grow in demand. The industry is evolving through either technological innovation, like AI-driven models, or diversification into emerging asset classes such as crypto.

10 Questions to Test Yourself: Are You a Trader or a Gambler?

Are You a Crypto Trader or a Gambler? Take This 10-Question Self-Assessment This article presents a 10-question checklist to help individuals determine if their cryptocurrency trading behavior is healthy or has crossed into problematic gambling. The questions are designed to be answered with a simple "yes" or "no." According to the author, answering "yes" to four or more questions indicates that a person is likely a gambler, not a disciplined trader. The questions probe various aspects of compulsive behavior, including: - Spending more time or money on trading than intended, or needing to increase stakes for excitement. - Failed attempts to stop or reduce trading, leading to restlessness or irritability. - An obsessive preoccupation with the crypto market that interferes with work, sleep, or family time. - Using trading as an escape from negative emotions like stress or depression. - "Chasing" losses by making more trades to recover money quickly. - Hiding the extent of trading activities or losses from loved ones. - Allowing trading to cause financial problems, such as debt or an inability to pay bills. - Neglecting hobbies, social activities, and self-care to focus on trading. - Taking excessive risks without research or using essential funds meant for necessities. - Continuing to trade despite recognizing the negative impact on mental or physical health. The assessment serves as a stark warning to evaluate one's relationship with cryptocurrency markets.

Bitcoin's Key Channel Broken? History Won't Simply Repeat Itself | Invited Analysis

This analysis by Odaily's market analyst Cody examines Bitcoin's recent price action and potential future trajectories. The key technical focus is the breach of Bitcoin's critical upward channel support line, which had been acting as a "lifeline" for the market since the November 21, 2025, low of $80,600. The report compares the current market structure to the 2021 cycle, noting similarities but cautioning that history does not simply repeat itself. The current correction from the October 2025 high is analyzed as a potential three-wave structure (A-B-C). The recently concluded B-wave rally has potentially ended, and the market is now in a C-wave correction. Key support levels to watch are identified at $86,000-$86,500, $84,000, and crucially, the $80,000-$80,600 zone (the November low). A decisive break below the channel support, accompanied by a bearish crossover on the daily momentum indicator, could signal a resumption of the downtrend towards these targets. Conversely, holding above the channel could lead to a retest of resistance near $94,500. The analyst details a successful short trade from the previous week, yielding a 3.76% return, executed based on a confluence of signals from proprietary quantitative models. The weekly and daily charts are currently assessed as bearish. The recommended strategy for the coming week involves preparing for a potential breakdown below the channel with short positions (60% for mid-term, 30% for short-term trades), employing strict risk management with trailing stop-losses.

VIRTUAL eyes $1.33 – Why traders must watch THIS level next

The crypto AI sector has seen significant losses over the past week, with Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL) declining by 15.71%. Despite the drop, technical analysis suggests this retracement may present a buying opportunity. VIRTUAL retraced toward the key demand zone of $0.73–$0.76, as anticipated. Although short-term momentum appears bearish—with price below key moving averages and negative capital flow—the early January breakout above $0.73 and $1.05 indicated bullish shift. As long as the token holds above the $0.758 retracement level, traders may consider buying, targeting $1.19 and $1.33. Exchange netflows have mostly favored sellers, but price action remains the more reliable indicator.

Hyperliquid: Why whales are betting on HYPE’s yield strategy

A Hyperliquid (HYPE) whale executed a strategic accumulation in late 2024, making incremental spot buys to amass over 250,115 tokens at a favorable average cost. This behavior, mirrored by other large holders, indicated a coordinated move to position for yield ahead of staking rather than speculative trading. The protocol's Total Value Locked (TVL) grew significantly in 2025, supported by strong and consistent fee generation. A key staking strategy was demonstrated when a large holder deposited tokens to an exchange in early 2026, realizing substantial profits after compounding staking rewards. This exit was planned and disciplined, driven by yield capture, not short-term price action. Hyperliquid's market stability remains dependent on sustained trading activity and fee revenue.

Trader's Practical Guide: Avoiding 'Catching Falling Knives' - A Bottom-Fishing Methodology Integrating Fundamentals, Technicals, and Sentiment

This guide outlines a systematic framework for buying stocks at their bottom, integrating fundamental, technical, and sentiment analysis to avoid premature buying ("catching a falling knife"). The process begins by identifying the catalyst for a stock's decline and assessing whether it's a temporary issue or a fundamental break in the investment thesis. A thorough fundamental review using the "4M" framework (Business Model, Moat, Management, Margin of Safety) and conservative DCF valuation is essential. Technically, patience is key; wait for signs of seller exhaustion. Strategies include buying on the right side of a V-shaped reversal, after a 5-day EMA crosses above the 20-day EMA, near long-term support levels, or after a base forms at least 5% above 52-week lows. Riskier "waterfall decline" entries require careful scaling-in. Sentiment analysis acts as a contrarian indicator. Extreme pessimism, such as drastically lowered price targets or widespread capitulation from retail investors, can signal a potential bottom. Combining these elements creates a disciplined approach to identify high-probability entry points with a margin of safety.

Wall Street 'Withdraws' from Bitcoin Basis Arbitrage: CME Falls Out of Favor, the Golden Age of Arbitrage Comes to an End

Wall Street is retreating from the once-lucrative Bitcoin basis trade, as narrowing spreads between spot and futures prices have made the strategy barely profitable. The cash-and-carry trade, which involved buying Bitcoin spot (often via ETFs) and selling futures to capture the premium, has seen annualized returns drop to around 5%, down from nearly 17% a year ago, barely covering funding and execution costs. This compression has led to a significant shift in market structure: CME's Bitcoin futures open interest has fallen below Binance's for the first time since 2023, indicating a withdrawal of hedge funds and large US accounts from this specific arbitrage strategy. While CME was the preferred venue for this institutional trade, Binance's dominance in perpetual futures has remained steady. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs initially fueled the trade's popularity but also accelerated its decline by attracting capital that quickly eroded the arbitrage opportunity. The market is now maturing, with participants shifting from simple leveraged directional bets to using options, hedges, and expressing views through diverse instruments like ETFs. This increased efficiency has naturally narrowed price disparities between venues. As the era of easy, high returns from basis trading ends, participants are expected to seek more complex strategies in decentralized markets and other crypto assets.
