Silver big pump 145% vs Mainstream Token fall: Why are investors betting on commodity assets instead of Crypto Assets?

[Coin World] The market in the past two years has been quite interesting. The silver trust fund rose 145% in 2025, completely overshadowing Bitcoin and Ripple. Bitcoin fell by 6%, and Ripple fared worse, dropping directly by 9%. The gap seems significant.

Why is this the case? The key lies in the different sources of demand. Silver has two strong purchasing powers - one is investors seeking safe havens, and the other is the industrial demand for real silver. Fields like solar panels and electric vehicle batteries have an increasing appetite for silver, and the essential demand is right there.

What about cryptocurrencies? The current demand mainly comes from traders' fantasies about the future. Everyone is betting that institutional investors will flood into the market, but what is the reality? Regulatory policies are still playing a game of Tai Chi, and various ETF issuances have also been delayed. This uncertainty has directly undermined market confidence. In simple terms, silver has real production and consumption demand to support it, while cryptocurrencies are still relying on stories to survive. This is the fundamental difference between the two.
