Last year, silver, which was included in the 'investment basket' of many investors, broke records in 2025. Silver, which has yielded a 142 percent return since the beginning of the year, is also expected to maintain this performance in 2026. Economist Devrim Akyıl, a guest on Emre Kulcanay's EKTV channel on YouTube, declared silver to be the new king. Akyıl elaborated on the theory of 'Silver can buy you a house'.
Silver emerged as the champion of 2025. Rattling the throne of the safe haven gold, silver became the second most preferred investment tool. According to experts, the rise of silver will continue into 2026.

The New King: Silver
Economist Devrim Akyıl declared silver as the 'new king'. In his remarks about silver, Akyıl stated, 'The new king is silver. In fact, it's a very ancient king. Silver is a very significant metal. I've always based the starting point of my teachings on this for a long time. Indeed, silver is the oldest currency. However, it's a forgotten currency.'
Akyil continued his discourse on silver as follows:
Will the price of silver rise?
'Silver has been off the radar for a very long time. We're discussing how much silver has increased, but I suspect it will drop to the 40s or 50s by 2028. We're in the midst of the movement I expect to reach three digits. I'm speaking in terms of ounces. This movement will certainly continue to three digits. At the very least, we're technically on course to exceed 90 dollars. Any sort of madness could be possible once it starts to break upwards with physical demand. I had a theory that a small amount of silver could buy a house.
I stand by that theory. Because here, there is a deluge of knowledge based on both real reasons and reading economic history. Investors should not forget that silver is as good a protection tool as gold. I've never had the mindset of 'I've bought silver, I'll hold onto it for life'. These things have cycles. I can say that in the cycle that started in 2019, there's a strong likelihood that these will continue to rise until 2028, but they could gradually start to step off the trend.'
