“Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki said on X that he believes “silver and Ethereum are the best trades today,” drawing fresh attention from retail investors who closely track his market views. Kiyosaki, long known for promoting financial literacy, has historically categorized gold, silver and Bitcoin (BTC) as “real money” and urged investors to hold hard assets as hedges against inflation and macro uncertainty.
Ethereum joins Kiyosaki’s shortlist
Kiyosaki’s brief post stood out because it placed Ethereum (ETH), rather than Bitcoin, alongside silver as his top opportunities right now. For years he has been outspoken in criticizing fiat currencies such as the U.S. dollar as “fake money,” favoring tangible assets and decentralized digital assets. The latest comment suggests a tactical tilt in his portfolio thinking, elevating ETH in the current market backdrop.

ETF expectations underpin market optimism
The timing aligns with growing anticipation in the U.S. around potential approval of spot Ethereum exchange-traded funds. If greenlit, such products could expand regulated access to ETH for institutions and individuals, potentially deepening liquidity and broadening participation. Kiyosaki’s praise appears to echo that optimism and has amplified bullish sentiment across parts of the crypto community.
Still bullish on Bitcoin – just not the focus of this call
Importantly, Kiyosaki has not renounced his support for Bitcoin. He continues to view BTC as a core asset, and his latest remark can be read as a short-term call favoring silver and Ethereum given current market dynamics rather than a long-term reversal. As always, crypto markets are highly volatile; investors should evaluate multiple sources, assess risk tolerance, and make careful, independent decisions before allocating capital.
