In a striking development tracked by market data platform 8marketcap, silver has recently overtaken Apple in terms of market capitalization ranking, claiming the third position globally among all asset categories. This milestone, reported by PANews in late December, underscores the significant valuation white precious metal has achieved relative to one of the world's most valuable technology companies. The market capitalization ranking shift highlights silver's growing importance as a commodity asset class, now positioning it ahead of Apple in terms of total market value. Such dramatic reordering in the global asset landscape reflects broader trends in commodity valuations and investor interest in tangible assets.
