Robert Kiyosaki Says the Biggest Stock Market Crash in History Has Started

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, declared this week that the largest stock and bond market crash in history has already begun.　　He tied the warning to predictions first made in his 2002 book, claiming the collapse is now spreading from Europe and Japan worldwide.　　What Kiyosakis Crash Warning Actually Claims　　He points to speculative excess around artificial intelligence, ongoing tension involving Iran, record global debt levels, and the mass retirement of Baby Boomers, straining pension systems simultaneously.　　Kiyosaki specifically warned holders of retirement accounts, including 401(k)s and IRAs, that those over 40 face particular risk.　　BIGGEST CRASH IN HISTORY has started.　　In 2002 I released RICH DADS PROPHECY. This book was written to prepare people to profit and not be victims of the biggest stock and bond market crash in history…. a crash that was still coming.　　Drawing a parallel to the Great Depression, which he notes spanned roughly 25 years from 1929 to 1954, Kiyosaki argued that prepared investors can turn a crisis into a lasting opportunity.　　His preparation strategy centers on rejecting cash savings entirely. He has spent years publicly favoring income-producing real estate, oil wells, and hard assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin instead.　　Kiyosaki frames these as protection against the “fake money

US yields near 5%: Is the long-term bull cycle entering its final stage？ [Video]

If you have been following our analysis for a while, you may remember that we were already looking for higher US yields back in December 2025, when we prepared our special market outlook for the year ahead. Since then, US yields have moved nicely higher, and the US 10-year yield has now reached the important 5% area.　　Members update-previous chart　　The move has been supported by persistent inflation, strong economic data and, more recently, the sharp rise in crude oil. Markets have also become much more confident that the Fed will raise rates, with a rate hike now almost fully priced in for Wednesday.　　But could yields be getting close to a top？　　This is where things become interesting.　　Markets usually move on expectations of what central banks will do next, rather than simply reacting to what they are doing today. For months, investors have been repricing the possibility of higher Fed rates, and this has helped push the 10-year yield towards 5%.　　But once the Fed actually starts hiking, the focus will quickly shift to the next question: how many more hikes can they deliver？　　Discover more　　FINANCE　　NEWS　　Choose POS Systems　　In other words, more tightening now could mean less upside for yields later.　　This is especially interesting because the

Wrapped Bitcoin Risks: Why Institutions Focus on Rehypothecation

Peter Zhang　　Sep 15, 2026 15:20　　Wrapped BTC products like cirBTC face scrutiny over rehypothecation risks and reserve transparency. Learn why institutions care about segregated collateral.　　Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) products, which allow Bitcoin (BTC) to be used in decentralized finance (DeFi), have drawn increasing scrutiny from institutional players due to risks surrounding rehypothecation and reserve transparency. Circles newly launched cirBTC aims to address these concerns, positioning itself as a more transparent wrapped BTC option for institutional users.　　At its core, wrapped BTC transforms native Bitcoin into a tokenized asset that can function in blockchains like Ethereum or lending protocols such as Aave. However, the structure of these products matters greatly, as past market cycles have revealed weaknesses in how reserves are held and disclosed. For example, during periods of market stress, certain wrapped BTC products such as those tied to now-defunct entities like FTX saw redemptions suspended or tokens trade at a discount due to doubts about their backing.　　Rehypothecation Risks in Wrapped BTC　　Rehypothecation—the reuse of pledged collateral—is a significant risk factor for wrapped BTC. In traditional finance, this practice is often tightly regulated, requiring disclosure and compensation for the underlying asset holders. In DeFi, rehypothecation has historically lacked such guardrails, creating multiple claims on
