Robert Kiyosaki has renewed his market crash warning and named BlackRock as a possible trigger. His latest comments came after BlackRock limited withdrawals from a private credit fund.
In a post on X, Kiyosaki said the biggest stock market crash in history may now be arriving. He argued that the causes behind the 2008 financial crisis were never fully resolved.
The news angle centers on Kiyosaki linking BlackRock’s private credit stress to a broader 2026 market warning. He also repeated his call to hold silver, gold, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and oil-linked assets.
Robert Kiyosaki Repeats 2026 Crash Warning
Kiyosaki referred back to his 2013 book Rich Dad’s Prophecy in the post. He said he had long warned that a larger crash could follow the 2008 crisis.
He also cited his past comments about Lehman Brothers before its collapse. Then he shifted to BlackRock and described its private credit exposure as the next source of stress.
REPEATING A WARNING
In Rich Dad’s Prophecy (2013) I warned the biggest stock market crash in history….was STILL coming.
In 2026, I hope I am wrong…. Yet I am afraid that crash is now arriving.
Why did I make that prediction?
Because the cause of the 2008 crash, the GFC,…

Kiyosaki wrote that he hoped he was wrong about the outcome. Still, he said a breakdown at BlackRock could move quickly and damage retirement savings.
He again framed the warning around debt levels and financial system pressure. That message matched other recent crash calls he has made in public comments.
BlackRock’s Fund Move Drew Fresh Attention
BlackRock restricted withdrawals from its $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund after redemption requests exceeded the fund’s 5% quarterly limit. Reuters reported that investors sought to withdraw about $1.2 billion, or 9.3% of net asset value.
The move came during wider stress in private credit markets. Reuters said recent defaults and market concern added pressure across the sector.
Other reports also described the step as a sign of investor caution. The Financial Times said BlackRock met only part of the withdrawal demand under the fund’s stated limit.
Kiyosaki’s post did not include direct balance sheet data on BlackRock. However, the timing of his warning followed the withdrawal cap decision made public on March 6.
Silver and Crypto Remain Part of his Message
Kiyosaki again urged followers to buy hard assets and select cryptocurrencies. In the post, he named gold, silver, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and partnerships in oil wells.
He placed special attention on silver because of its lower entry cost. He told followers that even $10 could buy what he called “junk silver,” such as old dimes and quarters.
He also used stronger language around personal spending choices. In the same message, he told people to skip one meal if needed and put that money into silver.
That advice kept the focus on small retail buyers as well as larger investors. It also showed that Kiyosaki’s current warning is tied to both market fear and asset allocation.
Market Warning Meets Ongoing Skepticism
Robert Kiyosaki has issued many crash warnings in recent years. Some reports noted that his repeated calls have drawn criticism because earlier timelines did not lead to the collapse he predicted.
Even in this case, he said he hoped the warning would prove wrong. That statement left room for uncertainty in his own outlook.
Still, his latest post gained attention because it named a specific firm and a specific market segment. The fresh focus was BlackRock and the strain now visible in private credit redemptions.
