Rich Dad Poor Dad’ Author Robert Kiyosaki Predicts Crypto Crash Accurately
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, predicted this year’s crypto crash — Bitcoin and Ethereum plunged after Trump imposed tariffs on imports from China.
Robert Kiyosaki, famed for Rich Dad Poor Dad, has long cautioned investors about an impending financial shakeup. The cryptocurrency market’s recent collapse appears to validate his forecast.
On October 10, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 100% tariff on imports from China. This policy shift sparked a sudden crash in digital assets, with more than $19 billion in leveraged cryptocurrency positions liquidated in just 24 hours. Analysts describe this as one of the most dramatic sell-offs in the short history of crypto trading.
Following the market turmoil, Kiyosaki posted on X to remind followers that he had been warning about a market downturn earlier this year. He continues to advise against holding large sums of fiat money, arguing that inflation diminishes its value over time. Instead, he recommends investing in tangible assets such as gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
REMINDER: I predicted the biggest crash in world history was coming in my book Rich Dad’s Prophecy. That crash will happen this year.

Kiyosaki has also spotlighted Ethereum as a promising investment. He believes ETH and silver are undervalued assets that combine long-term stability with practical applications. Drawing a comparison, he likened Ethereum’s utility in decentralized finance (DeFi) to silver’s industrial and store-of-value functions.
Ethereum, which had recently been trading above $4,700, fell sharply in the recent crash, dropping to $3,807.91 according to Kraken. The Ethereum network remains central to several DeFi platforms, including Maple Finance and Relay, maintaining its importance despite market volatility.
The author also urged investors to consider perspectives from both critics and supporters of Ethereum to fully understand its risks and opportunities before making decisions.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin has remained highly volatile, trading at $111,521.44 at the time of reporting, signaling continued uncertainty but persistent interest among digital currency holders.
