Come along for part two of the Silver Conspiracy! You can find all of our wonderful links on the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts The Silver Market The silver market involves the buying, selling, and trading of silver, a precious metal with industrial, monetary, and investment value. It operates globally, with major trading hubs in London, New York, and Shanghai. Silver is traded in various forms, including physical bullion (bars and coins), exchange-traded products (ETPs), futures contracts, and as part of industrial goods. Spot Price Determination The spot price of silver is the current market price at which silver can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. It is determined by: Global Supply and Demand: Supply comes from mining, recycling, and above-ground stockpiles. Demand spans industrial uses (solar panels, electronics), jewelry, investment, and medical applications. Futures Markets: Trading on commodity exchanges, such as COMEX (New York) and LBMA (London), heavily influences the spot price. Futures prices reflect traders' expectations about the future price of silver, which impacts the spot price. Currency Strength: Silver is typically priced in U.S. dollars. Fluctuations in the dollar's value can affect the silver price. Economic Conditions: Inflation, interest rates, and geopolitical events can increase or decrease silver demand as a safe-haven asset, influencing prices. Market Liquidity: Larger buy or sell orders can move the price, particularly during periods of lower trading volume. Benchmark Pricing: The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) sets the "LBMA Silver Price," a benchmark used for trading contracts. Is the Price of Silver Manipulated? Claims of silver price manipulation have been a topic of debate for years. Key points include: Historical Incidents: Hunt Brothers (1980): The Hunt brothers famously tried to corner the silver market, driving prices to unprecedented levels before a market crash. Regulatory Fines: Major financial institutions, such as JPMorgan Chase, have been fined for manipulating precious metals markets, including spoofing (placing and canceling large orders to mislead other traders). Market Characteristics: Silver's relatively smaller market size compared to gold makes it more susceptible to price swings and potential manipulation. Structural Factors: The heavy reliance on derivatives (futures contracts) can allow large players to influence prices disproportionally compared to the physical market. Critics' View: Some argue that large institutions intentionally suppress silver prices to protect fiat currencies or maintain stability in broader financial markets. Regulatory Oversight: Agencies like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) monitor trading to reduce manipulation risks. However, enforcement remains a challenge.

Oftentimes, even a revolutionary technological advancement is only the beginning of something bigger. Such was the case in the early 2000s, when the Royal Bank of Scotland released a mobile-banking app that precipitated not only the age of mobile banking, but a proliferation of other apps designed to give people easier access to and control over their money. The same phenomenon has happened since the Bitcoin whitepaper appeared: Beginning with a single game-changer, Bitcoin, the crypto space has blossomed with all manner of innovations: Not just other currencies like Ether, but entirely new ways of building, managing, and investing wealth.We'll learn about the creation of the very first mobile banking app. Then, along with BlackRock's Samara Cohen, we'll dive into the world of new opportunities that crypto has opened up, from ETH and the Ethereum network, to smart contracts, tokenization, and the recent wave of crypto ETPs that have brought even more investors into the crypto space.

Fineqia International Analyst Matteo Greco joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share insight regarding the company's analysis of global Exchange Traded Products with digital assets as collateral. The findings revealed that Assets Under Management for these products reached a historic $150 billion in November, a more than threefold increase from $49.5 billion at the start of 2024. This growth was bolstered by market optimism surrounding U.S. presidential election results. The company said ETP AUM grew 202.6% year-to-date, far outpacing the broader digital asset market. It rose by 49.2% in November alone, breaking the previous $100.5 billion record set in October. Bitcoin ETPs led the charge, with their AUM jumping 49.6% in November to $124.4 billion, driven by a 37.2% increase in BTC's price, which reached $96,485. The digital asset market surpassed its November 2021 high, reaching a total market capitalization of $3.57 trillion, a 40.7% increase from $2.54 trillion in October. Year-to-date, the market capitalization more than doubled from $1.77 trillion at the end of 2023. For the first time, Ethereum spot ETFs recorded positive cumulative net flows, with November net inflows of $1.1 billion, bringing total net inflows to $573 million since inception. Greco noted that ETPs, including Exchange Traded Funds and Exchange Traded Notes, continue to attract significant investor interest, further cementing their role as a key vehicle for accessing the digital asset market. This growth reflects increasing institutional and retail demand for secure and accessible exposure to cryptocurrencies. Looking ahead to 2025, Greco expressed optimism about the sector's potential, citing supportive market trends and technological adoption.

In this episode of Practical Access, hosts Lisa Dieker and Rebecca Hines welcome Dr. Sarah Bush, Lockheed Martin Eminent Scholar at the University of Central Florida and co-author of The Math Pact series. The conversation dives into strategies for making math education accessible, equitable, and engaging for all students, including those with disabilities. Dr. Bush discusses the synergy between high-leverage practices (HLPs), mathematics, and effective teaching practices (ETPs), emphasizing the importance of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) in both general and special education. She advocates for asset-based approaches to teaching, highlighting the need to leverage students' strengths and avoid harmful deficit labels. Key insights include: Avoiding Deficit Labels: Shift focuses to students' strengths and build on them to support areas of growth. Equity in Math Education: Replace rigid teaching rules with flexible, meaningful practices, like emphasizing the true meaning of the equal sign and avoiding ineffective keyword strategies in problem-solving. Creating Positive Math Experiences: Teachers should cultivate an open, contextual approach to math, encouraging engagement and reducing negative associations. Dr. Bush stresses the importance of never framing oneself as “not a math person” in front of students. Dr. Bush also reflects on what makes an inclusive math classroom truly exceptional—empowered, confident teachers who foster a caring and nurturing environment, set high expectations, and provide tools for students to succeed. This episode is packed with practical strategies for educators looking to create inclusive, effective math classrooms that inspire confidence and success in all learners. We love to hear from our listeners!

RBC's Markets in Motion is the weekly podcast from Lori Calvasina, Head of US Equity Strategy at RBC Capital Markets, highlighting her latest views on the US equity market. This week, we are excited to have Chris Louney, Commodity Strategist on RBC's Global Commodity Strategy and MENA Research team, guest hosting this week's episode while Lori is out.Three big things you need to know: First, while gold prices have had a strong rally this year, having hit record highs last month, we remain cautious. We think that gold is overvalued from the perspective of a number of key macro drivers and that there are some unrealized vulnerabilities to the pillars of gold's rally. While we are cautious, it's more because we do not think gold should be at such high levels just yet. Second, while May and June have seen a less weak and more rangebound trend for gold-backed ETPs, we are not convinced that investors are beginning to follow through just yet. Investors sold their gold holdings as prices rallied, and we've yet to see a sustained return to buying. Third, central bank demand has been a key pillar to the gold rally but as China's pause in purchasing showed, there are vulnerabilities. To be clear, we still think that central bank demand will continue to be strong, but there are reasons to be cautious on the volume at record prices and after such a sustained period of strength.

Today we welcome special guest Chris Kuiper on the show. Chris is Director of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets. He discusses many digital landscape topics and trends including Bitcoin's recent halving and SEC's approval on Bitcoin ETPs. Bitcoin's recent halving event is a process where the new incoming supply of Bitcoin is halved. This process takes place every four years and essentially reduces the reward given to miners for securing the network. Historically, Bitcoin halving usually precedes a surge in Bitcoin pricing, but it can also impact supply dynamics and Bitcoin scarcity. Chris notes despite halving reducing the number of Bitcoin received by miners, the significant increase in Bitcoin's price over time has more than compensated for the reduction in coins received. Chris also comments on the SEC's approval of Exchange Traded Products adding that ETPs for Bitcoin have been extraordinarily successful seeing massive inflows totalling over $12 billion in cumulative net flows in US dollars.  Assets under management for these US products exceeded $55 billion. He also discusses ethereum's performance and the rise of newer cryptocurrencies like solana.     Recorded on April 26, 2024.   At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead.

If there is any one investment product that has experienced a true boom over the last 10 years, it is exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs) more broadly.  The number of listed products has increased by 17.5 times in Australia during the last decade alone. More than 300 products are now listed across the ASX and CBOE exchanges and two million Australians have at least one ETF in their portfolio. And, as if you need more proof of the growth of ETPs, 2024 marked the first time that inflows outpaced those going into unlisted managed funds.  So if we've seen this growth over the last decade, what could the next 10 years hold? In this episode of The Rules of Investing, we put this and other questions to Tamara Haban-Beer Stats, Director and ETF/Index Investments Specialist at BlackRock Australia. BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager and its ETF arm iShares runs 49 ETPs in the Australian market. In this episode, Tamara also discusses the key mega forces that BlackRock believes could drive markets over the long run, where they are overweight in portfolios and the asset classes they believe could see the biggest growth within ETPs over the coming years.

This week in crypto, the fallout of Binance's $4 billion fine continued, new NFT games are launched, and CoinShares released their latest report on institutional crypto investments.  Binance's former CEO, CZ, is facing an uncertain future as a judge deliberates on whether to permit his departure from the U.S. before his February 2024 sentencing. CZ recently pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act related to Binance's anti-money laundering policies. While he initially obtained release on a $175 million bond, allowing him to return to the UAE where his family resides, prosecutors raised concerns about a potential flight risk due to his considerable wealth and the absence of an extradition treaty with the UAE. In response, the judge temporarily halted CZ's foreign travel privileges. The sentencing in February 2024 carries the possibility of a prison term ranging from a few months to a maximum of 10 years, and CZ's future endeavors may be influenced by the judge's decision on his travel restrictions. Australian exchange Swyftx has partnered with blockchain forensic firm TRM Labs to combat fraud in the cryptocurrency space. Following government data reporting a substantial $146 million loss in cryptocurrency, the collaboration aims to enhance security measures. Swyftx and TRM Labs are launching a pilot project, encouraging 2,000 customers to activate two-factor authentication on their accounts and complete a course jointly developed by the two companies. As an incentive, participants will receive AUD $10 (~$6.6) in Bitcoin. Swyftx's COO, Jason Titman, highlighted the exchange's success in halting approximately $2 million worth of crypto scams, emphasizing the typical progression of fraud from social media to banking systems and ultimately reaching exchanges. This initiative aims to curb fraudsters in the Australian market following a reported $2 million hack on a local exchange.  BinaryX has launched an AI-based battle royale adventure game, AI Hero, introducing innovative elements of AI technology, Battle Royale, and GameFi. Following the Open Beta release in October, the game utilizes AI-generated content to dynamically shape the gaming experience, altering the world, generating quests, NPC interactions, and events for a unique playthrough each time. With 20 participants simultaneously entering the game, AI plays a crucial role in creating a personalized and ever-changing adventure. PvP gameplay adds intensity, encouraging players to gather resources, craft superior gear, and outmaneuver rivals among the 20 participants for victory. Most interestingly, players have the opportunity to mint NFT heroes after the launch, participating in a competitive mode with potential mining rewards.  Crypto institutional investment marked their ninth consecutive week of inflows, as reported by CoinShares. In the past week alone, inflows reached $346 million, contributing to a total of $1.663 billion for the year. Institutional traders are also gaining exposure through exchange-traded products (ETPs), bringing stability and legitimacy to the space. Bitcoin remains a dominant choice, attracting $312 million in new inflows last week. Ethereum ETPs experienced a significant surge, with a 915% increase in inflows to $33.5 million. Institutional investments in digital asset products have reached their highest point since the late 2021 bull market, with total assets under management (AuM) reaching $45.3 billion. The surge in momentum followed the announcement of spot Bitcoin ETF applications in the US, and Ethereum ETF applications further fueled positive inflows into Ethereum ETPs. Anticipation is high for the approval of spot ETFs in 2024, offering another avenue for institutional exposure.
