$BTC | MACRO ALERT 🚨

China has restricted gold exports for years —

gold flows in, but rarely flows out.

Since then? Gold prices have gone parabolic.

Now China is applying a similar playbook to silver.

Starting Jan 1, 2026, silver exporters will need special government licenses —

and only large, state-approved players qualify.

This tightens global supply significantly,

especially with silver already running multi-year deficits.

Even Elon Musk weighed in, calling it “not good” —

silver is critical for EVs, solar panels, and electronics.

Industrial demand isn’t slowing — it’s accelerating.
