Interesting phenomenon has surfaced—silver's volatility has recently surpassed that of Bitcoin.

Here's the data: silver's actual volatility has surged to over 50%, with this year's gains exceeding 151%. On the other hand, Bitcoin's volatility remains stable around 45%, yet its price has fallen nearly 30% from its all-time high. The contrast is quite striking.

Market analysts interpret this as primarily due to weakening ETF demand, rather than a general shift in market sentiment. This assessment is quite nuanced—it suggests that the selling pressure isn't driven by panic selling but rather by more structural shifts in capital flow.

The underlying logic is actually easy to understand: traditional assets are gaining strength. As the year-end approaches, the performance of traditional financial markets and capital allocation strategies are readjusting, leading to a contraction in crypto market trading volume. Whether this is a cyclical phenomenon or a trend change is currently difficult to determine.

What do you think about this trend? Is it short-term capital rotation, or is it a warning sign that we should be cautious about?

Why is silver's increase so strong? This is really making money. Weak ETF demand might just be the surface; funds are really flowing into traditional assets. It’s probably a short-term rotation; the shift shouldn’t happen so quickly. We really need to pay attention to this wave; don’t get complacent. Even with BTC dropping 30%, it remains stable, which is quite remarkable.

Silver surged 151%, while Bitcoin instead fell 30%? This logic is a bit crazy. Is traditional finance really bottom-fishing in precious metals?

Silver surges 151%, this is outrageous, it feels like another traditional finance scheme to cut the leeks --- BTC drops 30% only for ETF to weaken? Why not say institutions are fleeing the top? --- Capital rotation... sounds nice, but actually it's big players switching horses, and we're suffering along --- This time is really different, traditional assets are rebounding, crypto might cool off for a while --- Silver surpassing BTC volatility? Ha, if you believe this data, you're kidding yourself --- Everyone is cashing out year-end bonuses, no need to overthink --- It looks cyclical, but it feels like it's turning into a trend... a bit anxious --- It's just about cutting losses after ETF bloodsucking, simple and brutal --- Traditional finance is rebalancing, and our opportunity is actually coming --- Silver has risen so much, and people are still following suit? They really are all gamblers
