Robert Kiyosaki warns Japan’s carry trade end may trigger a global crash and urges investment in energy, metals, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a warning that Japan’s decision to end its 30-year carry trade could trigger a global financial downturn.
He suggests this move may burst asset bubbles in stocks, real estate, and bonds, as it could reduce global liquidity and raise volatility. Kiyosaki is now sharing investment ideas that he believes could help individuals protect their wealth during this period.
Japan’s Carry Trade Ends After Three Decades
Japan’s long-standing carry trade involved lending capital at low interest rates to global investors. These investors used the funds to buy higher-yielding assets across different markets. Kiyosaki believes that this practice helped fuel a long-term rise in asset prices worldwide.
With Japan ending this policy, Kiyosaki suggests that a major correction may now be underway.
He said on X,
“The Japanese carry trade blew the assets of the world into the biggest bubble in the world.”
According to him, the shift began during Thanksgiving and may continue to affect global markets in the months ahead.

He also warns that as global investors unwind carry trade positions, asset prices could fall across various sectors. This may especially affect real estate, which he says depends heavily on stable employment and access to credit.
AI and Job Losses Could Deepen Economic Stress
Kiyosaki links the rise of artificial intelligence to growing unemployment risks. He said that AI will remove millions of jobs, which could hurt both residential and commercial real estate. He adds that when jobs fall, real estate demand tends to decline quickly.
He stated, “AI will wipe out jobs and when jobs crash office and residential real estate crashes.” This, he believes, may further reduce the value of real estate and related financial products.
His view builds on his earlier warnings about real estate markets. In his past writings, he noted that the property sector depends heavily on employment levels. As more companies announce layoffs, Kiyosaki expects broader market stress to follow.

As part of his response, Kiyosaki is now recommending a range of investments that he believes can withstand market instability. His first focus is energy, particularly oil and natural gas. He argues that AI growth will drive long-term energy demand, making these sectors a safer choice.
He also supports gold and silver. Kiyosaki predicts that silver could reach $70 soon and gold may hit $27,000 by 2026. He described silver as “the best and the safest,” and says he owns two gold mines personally.

In addition, Kiyosaki endorses digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. He believes they are reliable stores of value during monetary shifts. He expects Bitcoin to reach $250,000 by 2026 and sees Ethereum as key to the blockchain ecosystem for stablecoins.
