Robert Kiyosaki on Monday predicted that Bitcoin hits $750,000 and Ethereum reaches $95,000 within a year of the next major financial crash. He paired those calls with gold hitting $35,000 an ounce and silver reaching $200 an ounce, framing all four assets as the winners once the current financial system breaks.

Kiyosaki posted his boldest price targets yet, stating he does not know what specific event will pop the biggest bubbles in history. "It’s not IF. It’s WHEN," Kiyosaki wrote. His targets mark a sharp jump from the $250,000 Bitcoin and $60,000 Ethereum figures he gave back in November.

Kiyosaki has repeatedly said price swings do not change his buying decisions. He pointed instead to rising US debt, persistent inflation, and what he calls incompetent leadership at the Federal Reserve and Treasury as the real signals worth watching.

Asset Price Targets

Prominent analyst Benjamin Cowen pointed out that Bitcoin’s first weekly close below its 200-week moving average this cycle mirrors exactly what happened in June 2022. He noted Bitcoin tends to drop into June in multiple cycles, including 2018 and 2022, and that the pattern rarely needs to be more complicated than it looks.

Cowen’s base case calls for Bitcoin to form an early summer low, followed by a counter-trend rally into mid-to-late summer, before a final drop into the actual cycle bottom sometime in the third or fourth quarter. He said this play would only change if a major blowup, similar to FTX or Luna in the last cycle, triggers a faster price-based capitulation.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said Strategy Inc.’s Bitcoin-buying model has added pressure to the broader crypto market, arguing that long-term value in digital assets will come from utility rather than financial engineering. In a CNBC interview on June 27, Garlinghouse stated that Strategy’s first Bitcoin sale in a while "definitely started something." He noted that its leveraged structure amplified excitement on the way up and is now compounding weakness on the way down.

Garlinghouse pointed to Strategy’s preferred stock STRC trading roughly 25% below par as a "damning indictment," saying the situation has not helped market sentiment. "Financial engineering does not drive long-term value," Garlinghouse noted, adding that digital assets must solve real problems at scale for customers to build liquidity, demand and trust. He added that he remains bullish on Bitcoin but argued that Strategy’s approach was "not focused on the right stuff."

Critics have argued that Strategy’s ability to continuously fund Bitcoin purchases through equity issuance is effectively paused until the stock regains a premium valuation. While Bitcoin remains the dominant store-of-value asset, Ripple is positioning XRP, stablecoins and institutional payments infrastructure as part of a broader shift toward tokenized finance.

Garlinghouse said he is bullish on Bitcoin, calling the current pullback a time to "be greedy when others are fearful." He reiterated that Bitcoin’s long-term value lies in its role as digital gold and XRP’s utility remains focused in bringing traditional finance onto blockchain. The interview also highlighted the convergence of artificial intelligence, stablecoins and tokenization, explaining how blockchain rails could become financial infrastructure for machines, autonomous agents and tokenized assets.
