I just came across an interesting warning that the well-known financial author Robert Kiyosaki has put out. He’s talking about a possible massive stock market crash in 2026 — and not just some minor pullback, but, according to his statement, the biggest one in the entire history.

What makes me think is: Kiyosaki argues that the real problems from the 2008 financial crisis were never truly resolved. They were rather overshadowed, and now new vulnerabilities are building up. That makes sense when you look at the current market dynamics. The underlying problems are still there — just more hidden.

In response to this expected stock market crash, Kiyosaki recommends that investors protect themselves with classic hedging instruments. Gold and Silber are the usual suspects, but interestingly, he also sees Bitcoin and Ethereum as important protective measures. At current prices — Bitcoin is trading around $78,000, and Ethereum at about $2,400 — these assets could indeed represent an interesting hedge.

Oil is also on his list, rounding out the classic commodities strategy. The idea behind it is clear: when the next major stock market crash comes, these assets are meant to function as a buffer. Cryptocurrencies and commodities often react differently to market turbulence than traditional stocks.

I don’t find the warning about a stock market crash of this magnitude to be unfounded when you consider the structural problems. Whether you follow Kiyosaki’s recommendations exactly or not — it’s worth taking his perspective seriously and critically rethinking your own portfolio structure.
