Silver will be $80/oz as it hits ~$5T in market cap. It needs to be #2 or #3 to gold to be fully collateralizable in the near future (expected Basel IV rules in 2026 or 2027 make physical silver a Tier1 asset just like physical gold was with Basel III rules, effective July 1, 2025). BTC is likely to hit $10-20T soon (2-3 years) as a #2 market cap to gold. https://companiesmarketcap.com/assets-by-market-cap/
It is all about the market cap so these assets can be fully collateralized. They need to be collateralizable before they can really be used as money.
