Registered silver is available for delivery against COMEX futures contracts. Eligible silver meets exchange standards but is privately held and not immediately available for delivery. The registered-to-eligible ratio is a key indicator of physical silver availability in the market.

Free Float represents LBMA vault silver that is not encumbered by ETFs (like iShares SLV, Sprott PSLV) or other committed holdings. Approximately 80.5% of London vault silver is held by ETFs (per Feb 2026 LBMA report), leaving only ~19.5% as "free float" available for physical market transactions.
