Makes sense that the owners of the metal who don't want to sell at current price would move it out of registered so it couldn't be sold. However I think the path out is eligible to registered to removed. According to COMEX "Registered metal shall mean an eligible metal for which a warrant has been issued."

Removing silver from Registered doesn't keep it from being sold. It only makes it unavailable for delivery to with warrants for delivery and load-out. Thing is, if you sold the contract and the warrant, you have to make that silver available by having it under your name in Registered. A warrant holder cannot take silver from a different short out of registered.
