SILVER Act aims to reduce systemic risk in precious metals markets by expanding storage depositories and increasing geographical diversity.
The SILVER Act seeks to amend the Commodity Exchange Act to address systemic risks in precious metals markets by expanding the geographical diversity of storage depositories. The bill highlights the current concentration of precious metals storage near New York City, which increases costs and reduces liquidity. By adding storage vaults in lower-cost markets, the bill aims to enhance market liquidity, participant confidence, and competition.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
