Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD plummets to near $63.60 after Fed Williams hawkish remarks

Silver price (XAG/USD) is down 1.25% to near $63.60 during the European trading session on Thursday. The white metal faces intense selling pressure after hawkish remarks from New York Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank John Willams, a permanent voting member, in the European trade.  The comments from Feds Williams signaled that the central bank is highly worried about rising inflationary pressures and is gaining confidence on the overall job outlook.  Regarding the United States (US) interest rate outlook, Feds Williams said that it is “reasonable to see another rate hike by end of year.”  Williams flags resilience and inflation challenge as Fed keeps hawkish bias  Feds Williams delivers a notably firm message, with a 7.2/10 FXS Speechtracker score standing above the 6.2/10 historical average, underscoring confidence in US economic resilience and reduced downside risks to maximum employment. The emphasis that the “big challenge is on inflation,” the acknowledgement of “pretty strong demand from AI,” and the remark that another rate hike by year-end is “reasonable” all point to a stance that keeps the door open to further tightening even as explicit forward guidance is dialed back.  The FXS Fed Sentiment Index slipped by 0.18 points to 148.63, indicating a modest pullback in perceived hawkishness. Despite the

Why Zcash soared to $1,600 as Europe unlocks new ETP access

21Shares has launched a Zcash ETP, a physically backed exchange-traded product, on Euronext Paris and Amsterdam, opening a brokerage route to ZEC for European investors. The issuer announced the listing on Sept. 22 as Zcash rallied, but the price advance began before the product arrived.  The 21Shares Zcash ETP trades as ZCASH, with a euro listing in Paris and a dollar listing in Amsterdam. Its ISIN is CH1608218801. The product holds ZEC through its structure, giving investors price exposure without requiring them to buy or custody tokens directly. Its annual fee is 2.5%, and brokerage charges may add to the cost. The investor holds the listed product while the underlying ZEC is kept within its custody structure, a different experience from acquiring coins and moving them between personal wallets. In its launch post, 21Shares called it the first Zcash ETP available to European investors.  The distinction between product inception and public launch matters here. The issuers product page gives Sept. 21 as the inception date, while its listing announcement came Sept. 22. ZEC was already trading around $1,540 on Sept. 19, when CryptoSlate covered a rally tied to growing attention on Grayscales separate U.S. Zcash ETF. The European product therefore adds a

President Trump just disclosed dumping $50 million of these big tech stocks

The September 22 disclosure revealed that President Donald Trump, yet again, executed more than 1,000 trades in a single month. Among these stock market maneuvers made in July, two equity sales stand out for their sheer scale.  To begin with, the U.S. commander-in-chief dumped up to $25.5 million worth of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) shares across three trades. First, he sold up to $15,000 on July 8 and then conducted a far larger sale on July 17: up to $500,000 worth.  Finally, the September 22 filing reveals that, on July 20, President Trump offloaded up to $25 million worth of AMZN stock. Notably, the billionaire republican also executed two purchases of the e-commerce and cloud giant, buying a total of up to $30,000 worth of equity.  Meanwhile, the Amazon stock sale, at least by press time on September 24, appears to have been relatively well-timed, as AMZNs most recent closing price stood at $249.27 – 0.29% below the $249.99 recorded on July 20.

Brazil Outranks US in Crypto Adoption During Worst Bear Market Since 2022

Brazil ranked as the world‘s top country for grassroots crypto adoption in Chainalysis’ 2026 index. It beat the US as cryptos market value roughly halved.  The countrys crypto economy reached $252.5 billion over the 12 months ending June 30. Worldwide, on-chain activity slipped just 1.6% while the market shed $2.1 trillion.  Sponsored  Sponsored  How Brazil Beat the US Without Winning a Single Category  Brazil ranked fourth or higher in every category the index measures. It came second in cross-border flows, third in service flows and domestic peer-to-peer (P2P) activity, and fourth in balances.  “In a year when bear markets stunted global growth, it continually delivered strong performance relative to its size, beating more established markets like the United States,” the report said.  That consistency decided the result because of how the index is built. Chainalysis scores each country from 0 to 1 for each category and then computes the geometric mean. The firm says this approach favors countries that score well across the board, so no single strong category can hide weak ones.  The US ranked first in both service flows and balances. However, it placed 11th in cross-border flows and 20th in domestic P2P transfers, leaving it second overall.  Brazil placed fifth in the firms 2025 ranking, which

Mark Zuckerberg Brings $1,299 Meta VR Glasses and a Muse Keychain to Connect 2026

Meta Platforms (META) unveiled Meta VR Glasses, priced at $1,299.99, at its Connect 2026 event. The company also previewed Muse Charm, a keychain device for its Muse artificial intelligence (AI) agent.  Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called it the companys first attempt at delivering virtual reality (VR) in glasses rather than a full headset. The lineup also includes camera-free audio glasses and a third-generation Ray-Ban Meta.  Sponsored  Sponsored  Meta VR Glasses Shrink a Headset to 100 Grams  The glasses weigh about 100 grams, according to Meta. A cable links the frames to a compute puck that clips onto a pocket or bag. As a result, the puck handles processing while the frames stay light.  Meta pitches the device as a private cinema, a multi-monitor workstation, and a game console. Users control it with voice, eye tracking, and hand gestures instead of controllers. However, battery life tops out at roughly three hours of media playback. The glasses ship in spring 2027.

Nvidia Now Leads Every Individual Stock Token On Robinhood's Blockchain

Out of nearly 200 tokenized stocks now live on Robinhood‘sown blockchain, only one thing sits ahead of Nvidia, and it isn’t a company. Its an index.  I‘ve been tracking Robinhood Chain since its public mainnet went live, mostly expecting the usual pattern: a flashy launch, a memecoin frenzy, and tokenized equities trailing far behind as a footnote. That’s roughly how the first few weeks played out. But pull the current asset rankings today, and the picture looks different. Nvidia isn‘t just participating in Robinhood’s tokenized stock experiment, its leading it, and by a wide margin over every other individual company on the chain.  Nvidia Leads Every Individual Stock Token On Robinhood Chain  Robinhood‘s tokenized equities platform currently lists 194 live assets, spanning single stocks, ETFs, and commodity-backed tokens, according to the official Robinhood RWA dashboard on DefiLlama.
