According to ChainCatcher, Kobeissi Letter reported on the X platform that the search interest index for 'silver' on Google Trends has surged to 83, marking a historic peak. Silver prices are projected to rise significantly by 175% by 2025, with expectations of an eight-month consecutive increase for the first time since 1980. This year alone, the market value of gold and silver has increased by $16 trillion.

According to ChainCatcher, Hong Kong Wen Wei Po has released its list of the 'Top Ten Financial News of Hong Kong 2025.' Among the highlights, the development of a regulatory framework for digital economy and virtual assets ranked third, while the surge in cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin reaching a new high of $125,600, was eighth. Other notable financial news includes DeepSeek helping MPF investors earn over 40,000 HKD, the global success of Labubu as a new consumer stock, and an upward revision of Hong Kong's annual GDP growth forecast due to economic acceleration. Analysts have noted that this year has been a significant one for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. U.S. President Donald Trump has openly supported Bitcoin, contributing to its strong rally at the beginning of the year, with multiple record highs. However, Bitcoin has since retreated, dropping to around $85,000, marking a decline of over 30% from its peak.

According to PANews, the rapid surge in precious metal prices, including silver, has prompted analysts to caution about a potential price correction. Analysts from Capital Economics have expressed concerns that the current price levels of precious metals are difficult to justify based on fundamental factors. They predict that as the enthusiasm for gold diminishes, silver prices may decline to approximately $42 by the end of next year. UBS has highlighted that the swift rise in precious metal prices is largely due to insufficient market liquidity, suggesting a possible quick reversal. The firm emphasizes that short-term risks in precious metal trading have significantly increased, especially given the recent highs in gold prices, which may lead short-term investors to take profits. The thin liquidity at the year's end could exacerbate price volatility, making short-term trends harder to interpret. Wang Yanqing, Chief Analyst of Precious Metals at CITIC Futures, notes that from a fundamental perspective, there have been no significant changes in the factors affecting precious and base metals in the short term. While long-term factors such as 'de-dollarization' provide positive support, the rapid and short-term price increases have overly traded on these long-term factors. The heightened speculative sentiment poses potential risks to the stable operation of the market.

According to PANews, Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu has highlighted potential mispricing in the crypto market by 2025 due to overreliance on U.S. President Donald Trump's policies. Siu noted that Bitcoin could face its fourth annual decline, as Trump's priorities, such as tariffs and trade wars, impact risk assets. However, these are not the primary focus for cryptocurrencies. Siu revealed that Animoca Brands intends to go public through a reverse merger with Nasdaq-listed fintech company Currenc Group, with Animoca holding 95% of the merged entity. The company aims to serve as a proxy for altcoins in the public market, offering investors diversified exposure to altcoins and Web3 assets. Currently, Animoca Brands has over 620 portfolio companies and added around 100 new projects last year. For the 2024 fiscal year, the company reported unaudited bookings of $314 million and has achieved EBITDA profitability for four consecutive years. With key U.S. legislation like the Clarity Act and GENIUS Act establishing a regulatory framework, the industry will be compelled to focus on compliance and practical applications by 2026. The increased legal certainty is expected to prompt existing companies to launch tokens related to their businesses, shifting the market's focus from speculation to problem-solving products. The year 2026 is anticipated to be the year of utility tokens, with each issued token having a clear use case.
