Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued another stark warning. In a recent social media post, he said a major financial collapse could strike soon and urged investors to prepare for what he calls a Crypto Crash 2026 scenario.
Gold at $100K, Silver at $200: Kiyosaki Backs Rickards Forecast
Kiyosaki endorsed Jim Rickards' gold prediction of $100,000 per ounce and projected silver to jump from $75 to $200. Gold currently trades around $4,500–$4,510, after touching nearly $5,600 earlier in 2026. The warning quickly circulated in crypto and metals circles, with some followers agreeing and others noting Kiyosaki has made similar doomsday calls while markets kept rallying.
He attributed the coming crash to rising global debt, stubborn inflation, weak consumers, and what he calls an overheated AI stock bubble. Kiyosaki expects the 2026 financial crash to drive capital into safe-haven assets — gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, oil, and real estate — as hedges against fiat currency devaluation.
Bitcoin and Ethereum: Post-Crash Targets
Kiyosaki directly linked Bitcoin to his crash outlook, calling it digital gold with fixed supply and independence from central banks. Bitcoin currently trades between $74,000 and $77,000, down from its 2025 high above $126,000. He believes a sharp sell-off will create a massive buying opportunity, after which Bitcoin could rally to $750,000.
Ethereum, at around $2,000, could climb to $95,000 under the same conditions, Kiyosaki predicted. These figures far exceed mainstream forecasts, yet they gain traction during fear-driven periods. The crypto market has shown how fast sentiment flips: a severe correction could first hit altcoins, especially amid a weak altcoin season. Still, long-term Bitcoin holders view BTC as a strong hedge during unstable economic times.
Investors Split Over the Crash Narrative
The central debate is not whether bullion and Bitcoin can rise, but whether the world is truly heading toward the kind of collapse Kiyosaki describes. Some see warning signs in inflation, war fears, and heavy debt; others believe markets remain resilient. Major institutions like JPMorgan Chase and BlackRock forecast slower growth, not a depression-like collapse.
Jim Rickards, a former CIA adviser, has long argued that debt problems and potential currency resets could send precious metals much higher. He previously said gold at $10,000 by end-2026 would not surprise him; the extreme $100,000 target comes from historical comparisons with currency devaluations and monetary resets. Silver often mirrors gold in strong commodity rallies, lending credence to the $200 call. Whether Kiyosaki's warning proves prescient or premature, it has refocused attention on hard assets and crypto as crisis hedges.
