Big prediction from Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki: Gold will go to $25,000
Robert Kiyosaki
, known for his book Rich Dad Poor Dad, doubled down on gold in a post on the social media platform X, predicting a dramatic surge in its price amid economic turmoil. He described the recent U.S. bond auction as a failure and called it a harbinger of financial collapse.
'Good news. Gold will go to $25,000. Silver to $70. Bitcoin to $500k to $1 million.'
THE END is HERE:
WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up?
That is what happened yesterday.
The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up.
So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.
The party is over. Hyperinflation is…

Kiyosaki declared, "THE END is HERE", expressing concerns about hyperinflation, a collapsing bond market, and severe consequences for the global economy.
'WHAT if you threw a party and no one showed up? That is what happened yesterday,' Kiyosaki wrote, referencing the U.S. Treasury's recent 20-year bond auction that drew soft demand from investors.
This follows the U.S. Treasury Department's struggle to attract buyers for a $16 billion sale of 20-year bonds, reflecting growing investor anxiety over the ballooning national debt and fiscal uncertainty as Congress debates new spending legislation.
Stocks and the dollar sold off following the weak auction results, while U.S. Treasury yields rose, signalling market concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability.
Kiyosaki elaborated on the issue, stating, 'The Fed held an auction for US Bonds and no one showed up. So the Fed quietly bought $50 billion of its own fake money with fake money.'
The author interpreted this move as a sign of deeper monetary instability continuing. 'The party is over. Hyperinflation is here. Millions, young and old, to be wiped out financially,' he added.

His reaction comes on the heels of Moody's downgrade of the United States' sovereign credit rating, which followed earlier downgrades from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's.
In a post made earlier this week, Kiyosaki remarked that the downgrade signifies that 'the US is like a dead-beat dad who is spending borrowed money, without a job, and not taking care of his family.'
He warned that such credit downgrades may trigger higher interest rates, pushing the U.S. economy into a recession and potentially leading to unemployment, failing banks, a housing crisis, and even a depression on the scale of 1929.
The recent bond auction only intensified those concerns. The auction's poor reception could spur bond market vigilantes, investors demanding greater fiscal discipline, and lead to a harsher investment climate for the U.S. government.
Kiyosaki also reiterated his views on personal preparedness and financial independence, urging followers to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset.
'I have always recommended people become entrepreneurs, at least a side hustle, and not need job security,' he wrote in a prior post, adding that individuals should invest in income-producing real estate, and accumulate assets like real gold and silver and today Bitcoin.
As global uncertainty mounts, markets appear to be reacting accordingly. Gold prices have been on the rise, and Bitcoin recently surged past $111,000, hitting its all-time high, fueled by increased institutional interest and demand for alternatives to fiat currency.

Kiyosaki has consistently criticised the U.S. Federal Reserve's policies and the country's departure from the gold standard in 1971, stating that 'each crisis gets bigger because they never solve the problem.' Reaffirming his stance, he concluded his recent post with a stark warning:
'THE END I have been warning the world about is HERE. May God have mercy on our souls,' he stated.

Dollar extends losses as Fed rate cut hopes and political pressure grow
The dollar fell for a second straight session on Wednesday, a day after a US inflation reading increased expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut next month, and renewed pressure from President Donald Trump for lower rates added to the sell-off. The dollar index, measuring the currency against a basket of peers, fell 0.2 per cent to 97.81, its lowest since July 28, extending its 0.5 per cent drop on Tuesday. US consumer prices increased marginally in July, data showed on Tuesday, in line with forecasts and as the pass-through from Trump's sweeping tariffs to goods prices has so far been limited. Investors priced in a 98 per cent chance the central bank would ease rates next month, according to LSEG data. On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called for a "series of rate cuts," and said the Fed could kick off the policy rate easing with a 50 basis point cut. The day before, US President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly criticised Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not easing rates sooner, had added to the pressure on the Fed. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said that the president was considering a lawsuit against Powell in relation to his management of renovations at the central bank's Washington headquarters. "I think there is quite significant pressure on the Fed from the political side of Washington to get moving on interest rates," Shaun Osborne, chief currency strategist at Scotiabank, said. Michael Pfister, FX analyst at Commerzbank, said these political developments carried echoes of autocratic countries, where heads of statistics agencies or central banks are replaced and critical data series often discontinued or manipulated. "I'm not saying that this will necessarily happen here. But the developments of the last few days and weeks do not exactly fill me with optimism about the future, or the US dollar," Pfister said. Trump also hit out at Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, saying the bank had been wrong to predict US tariffs would hurt the economy. Trump questioned whether Solomon should lead the Wall Street institution. The dollar's weakness supported the euro and sterling. The single currency was last up 0.3 per cent to $1.1705, briefly hitting its highest since July 28. Similarly, the British currency rose 0.5 per cent to $1.3572, briefly hitting its highest since July 24. Britain's jobs market weakened again, though wage growth stayed strong, according to data on Tuesday, underscoring why the Bank of England is so cautious about cutting interest rates. The Australian dollar was up 0.3 per cent to $0.6550, while the New Zealand dollar rose 0.5 per cent to $0.5982. The Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday cut interest rates as expected, and signalled further policy easing might be needed to meet its inflation and employment goals as the economy lost some momentum. In cryptocurrencies, ether scaled a nearly four-year high of $4,734.47. "Ethereum's quiet breakout is being fuelled by real-world adoption and capital confidence," said Gracie Lin, Singapore CEO of crypto exchange OKX. "On our platform, ETH has now overtaken BTC as the most traded asset over the past month."

CoinDesk-Bullish IPO, Stablecoin-Circle successes pave way for crypto firms like Gemini, Grayscale to go public
Bullish IPO has hit the jackpot and so was Stablecoin giant Circle's initial public offering. With these successes, several crypto firms, including exchange Gemini and asset manager Grayscale, are now aiming to go public during an IPO window revived by robust tech earnings, along with expectations of easing tariffs and interest rates. Gemini IPO Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Gemini, the Winklevoss‑founded cryptocurrency exchange, has confidentially filed for a U.S. IPO with the SEC, though share count and pricing remain undecided. The move follows Circle's blockbuster listing and reflects a broader surge of crypto firms seeking public-market entry amid improving regulatory sentiment and renewed investor demand. Gemini operates a trading platform enabling investors to buy, sell and store more than 70 crypto tokens. The surge in cryptocurrency IPOs signals a turning point for the industry, reflecting growing confidence among digital asset firms to attract mainstream investors and bringing increased transparency, regulatory scrutiny and capital that could help solidify crypto's place in traditional financial markets. As the crypto sector matures financially and gains regulatory footing, firms are becoming more integrated into traditional markets. Live Events This marks a sharp turnaround for an industry that spent more than a decade under intense regulatory scrutiny worldwide. After the collapse of crypto exchange FTX in 2022, many institutional investors retreated from the digital asset market. Prices later recovered, and the sector gained fresh momentum when U.S. President Donald Trump voiced support during his campaign, pledging to be a "crypto president." Grayscale IPO Grayscale Investments, a leading crypto asset manager overseeing over $33 billion across more than 35 products, has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The filing, submitted via a draft Form S‑1, keeps critical details—such as share count and pricing—undisclosed for now. Coming amid Bitcoin's rally above six‑figure levels and a pro-crypto regulatory climate under the current U.S. administration, the move follows in the footsteps of crypto firms like Circle, Gemini, and Kraken also eyeing public listings. Bullish IPO Shares of cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish were indicated to open nearly 62 per cent above their IPO on Wednesday, signaling growing investor confidence in the sector and boosting prospects for future U.S. listings by other digital asset firms. If the stock starts to trade at the last indicated range of $55 to $60 on the NYSE, it could potentially value the billionaire venture capitalist Peter Thiel-backed company at nearly $8.77 billion. Bullish raised $1.11 billion in the largest U.S. listing by a digital assets company this year, marking another sign of mainstream adoption in a sector that recently topped $4 trillion in market value. Bullish, which acquired cryptocurrency website CoinDesk in 2023, had priced the IPO at $37 per share — above an already upsized range, and was valued at $5.41 billion. Circle IPO Stablecoin giant Circle had raised $1.05 billion in its initial public offering in June, before a blowout debut. As of last close, Circle shares were trading more than five times above their IPO price. A string of regulatory wins under a pro-crypto White House, corporate treasury adoption, and ETF inflows have prompted investors to embrace the once-scorned digital asset class, driving bellwether bitcoin to record highs. FAQs Q1. Who is 'Crypto President'? A1. Donald Trump is Crypto President. Q2. What do we know about Bullish IPO? A2. Shares of cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish were indicated to open nearly 62 per cent above their IPO on Wednesday, signaling growing investor confidence in the sector and boosting prospects for future U.S. listings by other digital asset firms.
