The Basel III Countdown: Why Silver is a Smart Investment in 2025

The Scottsdale Mint’s recent article, “Basel III Countdown: The Gold Crisis Banks Can’t Hide,” dives into how the upcoming Basel III regulations, set to fully take effect in 2025, could shake up the precious metals market—particularly gold. These rules aim to stabilise banks by requiring them to hold more capital against risky assets like unallocated gold, potentially disrupting the gold market’s liquidity and driving up prices. But here’s where silver shines: while gold grabs the headlines, silver often flies under the radar, offering a compelling investment opportunity.

Silver’s dual role as both a precious and industrial metal makes it uniquely positioned for growth. With Basel III potentially squeezing gold supply and increasing its cost, silver could see heightened demand as a more affordable alternative for investors seeking safe-haven assets. Plus, its widespread use in industries like solar energy and electronics adds a layer of resilience—demand that gold can’t match. The article hints at a looming “gold crisis,” but savvy investors might find silver’s versatility and value a hidden gem worth betting on in 2025.
