According to VTB, at the end of 2025, the Russian investment silver market demonstrated unprecedented dynamics both in price terms and in terms of the involvement of retail investors.
The number of unallocated metal accounts (OMA) with silver in the bank increased by 36%. And the volume of precious metal in such accounts increased by 51%.
In 2025, the price of silver increased by 96%, and since the beginning of 2026 it has already increased by 21%, according to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The rapid rise in price naturally attracts increased attention from investors. The metal price set by the Bank of Russia as of January 24, 2026 is 227.94 rubles per gram.
“Last year was a turning point in the perception of silver as a strategic asset for preserving and increasing capital. Record growth rates of quotations are accompanied by a structural increase in demand from private investors. Silver is beginning to transform from a niche instrument into one of the key assets for portfolio diversification,” commented Alexey Okhorzin, Senior Vice President, Head of VTB Retail Business Products Department.
