IT’S OFFICIAL: US Mint Suspends Silver Sales (Default Alert) | "We Cannot Price It"

Описание: The moment finally arrived. On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the United States Mint officially suspended sales of silver products after admitting it could no longer price the metal during extreme market volatility. In plain language, the government said the quiet part out loud: “We cannot price it.” This is not a technical pause. This is an admission that the paper pricing mechanism has broken under physical pressure.
In this urgent deep dive, we dissect what this suspension really means for silver, the dollar, and the global financial system. While the Comex paper price surged toward historic highs, the physical market told a very different story. Silver is no longer being priced by algorithms in New York. It is being priced by supply, demand, and scarcity in the real world.
We expose the widening gap between the Western paper market and the Eastern physical market. Reports from Asia confirm that physical silver is trading far above the quoted spot price, with Shanghai acting as the true center of price discovery. There are now two silver markets operating simultaneously — one digital and one physical — and they are rapidly diverging.
We also analyze the systemic stress behind the scenes. As retail sales shut down, massive withdrawals accelerated inside the commercial vaults. Strategic entities are no longer trusting exchange-based ownership. They are removing metal, taking direct possession, and bypassing the paper system entirely. When eligible inventory begins to leave at scale, it signals a collapse of confidence in the exchange itself.
Finally, we map out the implications of a Mint shutdown during a bull market. With official supply frozen, dealer premiums rising, and physical silver becoming unobtainable, the market enters a no-offer phase. This is how repricing events happen — not slowly, but suddenly. The suspension is not the end of the move. It is the confirmation of it.
The Mint has stepped back. The vaults are draining. And the price is being forced to catch reality.
