Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a new warning that a historic global crash may be underway after Japan ended its decades-long carry trade. He says this shift could trigger a collapse in real estate, stocks, and jobs worldwide. With AI accelerating job losses, Kiyosaki believes millions may lose everything — but those who prepare now could protect their wealth and even grow it.

Japan Ends Carry Trade After 30 Years

Japan has ended its decades-long carry trade strategy, a move that Robert Kiyosaki says could trigger the largest financial crash in history. The carry trade allowed investors to borrow in yen at low interest rates and invest in higher-yielding assets globally. As Japan begins to shift its monetary stance, Kiyosaki believes this action could puncture inflated global asset prices.

“The Japanese ‘carry trade’ blew the assets of the world… into the biggest bubble in the world,” he posted on social platform X. According to Kiyosaki, this pin was pushed into the global market during Thanksgiving, and the unwinding of these trades may already be underway.

He warned that such a reversal could reduce global liquidity, impact real estate prices, and increase financial market volatility. He has called this a crash he predicted in his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy.

Warnings of Rising Unemployment and AI Job Disruption

Kiyosaki believes that technological shifts like artificial intelligence will result in mass unemployment. He said, “AI will wipe out jobs and when jobs crash office and residential real estate crashes.”

He points out that real estate values are tied to employment, echoing a long-standing principle in his teachings. As job losses grow, demand for both residential and commercial properties could fall, leading to widespread declines in value.

His warning comes as companies around the world continue to announce layoffs, even as stock markets in the U.S. maintain relatively high levels.

Investment Picks Amid Economic Worries

Kiyosaki has laid out a 10-point investment strategy aimed at helping individuals grow their wealth during downturns. The first asset he mentions is energy. He believes AI will drive long-term energy demand, particularly in oil and natural gas, and has personally invested in these sectors through private equity.

He also recommends investors consider energy-focused stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds. “I plan on getting richer, although tragically… millions will become unemployed,” he wrote.

Gold and silver are also on his list. He favors silver, predicting it may rise to $70 soon and possibly $200 by 2026. “Silver is the best and the safest,” he said, adding that he owns two gold mines. His forecast for gold is more dramatic—$27,000 per ounce—a prediction he credits to investor Jim Rickards.

Kiyosaki Recommends Bitcoin and Ethereum

In addition to traditional assets, Kiyosaki is investing in cryptocurrency. He sees digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum as key tools for protecting and growing wealth during economic turmoil.

He predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000 in 2026. He supports Ethereum as well, stating it is the blockchain for stablecoins. Despite the volatility of crypto, he believes these digital currencies provide a hedge against fiat currency risks and central bank policies.

Encouraging Preparation Over Fear
While warning of a downturn, Kiyosaki emphasizes preparation rather than panic. He encourages individuals to build a financial safety net and avoid overexposure to debt.

He adds that although millions may lose their homes and savings, those who act wisely now could benefit from future opportunities. He plans to release nine more investment ideas in upcoming posts.
