The New Banking Rule No One Is Talking About: Basel III Endgame

I actually liked how Asian Guy broke down Basel III Endgame, because even though this rule officially went live on January 1st, most people still have no idea how big this is, especially for silver.

Here’s the part that matters:

Basel III Endgame forces banks to treat precious metals differently on their balance sheets. Paper games, leverage tricks, and synthetic exposure don’t cut it anymore. Physical metal matters. Risk matters. Capital requirements matter.

That’s why:
Banks that were short silver for years quietly repositioned
Shorts were covered
Long positions started appearing
And physical silver began trading at higher premiums globally than what you see on COMEX

This also explains why:
Other countries are selling silver above COMEX prices
Physical demand keeps draining inventories
And the paper price keeps looking “off” compared to reality

Basel III Endgame didn’t cause silver to rise overnight.
It removed the ability to suppress it indefinitely.

We’re watching a slow-motion repricing where:
Paper silver ≠ physical silver
Balance sheets are being cleaned up
And the real value of scarce, tangible assets is being rediscovered

This isn’t hype.
This is plumbing-level change in the banking system.

And once the market fully wakes up to that?
Silver won’t be asking for permission anymore.

Know What You Hold!!!!
