1) JP Morgan holds more than 50% of the silver depository in COMEX (data can be obtained here, https://www.cmegroup.com/delivery_reports/Silver_stocks.xls).
2) Blackrock just became the largest institutional holder of Sprott Physical Silver Trust, three times larger than the second largest institutional holder (data can be accessed here, https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PSLV/holders?p=PSLV).

A) Under Basel 3, gold recently has been reclassified as Tier-1 collateral for central banks. Would silver be considered as โTier-1 collateralโ for commercial financial institutions, with assisted transition by the current crisis of banks and bonds?

C) Something huge is coming, when and in what form remains unclear.
