Author and investor Robert Kiyosaki has warned that silver’s surge above the $70 level may be an early warning sign of future hyperinflation.
Kiyosaki said the move in silver prices reflects deeper concerns about the long-term stability of fiat currencies.
In a post published on social media platform X on 23 December, Kiyosaki linked the rally to ongoing erosion in the value of the US dollar.
I am concerned $70 silver may signal hyper-inflation in five years as the fake dollar keeps losing value.
Robert Kiyosaki said.
He added that investors holding cash risk losing purchasing power as inflation pressures build.
Don’t be a loser. Fake dollar will continue to lose purchasing power as silver goes to $200 in 2026.
Robert Kiyosaki said.
Kiyosaki has long criticised government spending and expansive monetary policy, arguing they weaken national currencies over time.
He has repeatedly encouraged investors to favour hard assets over traditional savings instruments.
Precious metals have rallied strongly in recent months amid persistent inflation concerns and rising global debt levels.
Market data showed spot silver climbed to nearly $72 per ounce by 25 December.
The move represents a gain of more than 140% since the start of the year.
Analysts said industrial demand has played a significant role in silver’s price surge.
Silver consumption has increased across sectors such as solar energy, electric vehicles and electronics manufacturing.
Tightening supply conditions have also contributed to upward price pressure.
Safe-haven demand has strengthened as investors seek protection from currency volatility.
The US dollar has remained under pressure as markets assess the outlook for interest rates and fiscal policy.
Gold has also traded near record highs as central banks continue to accumulate reserves.
Emerging market central banks have been among the most active buyers of precious metals.
Bitcoin has also featured in Kiyosaki’s commentary as an alternative store of value.
The cryptocurrency has previously been highlighted by Kiyosaki as a hedge against currency debasement.
Bitcoin was trading near $87,700 at the time of publication following a volatile end to the year.
Ethereum was trading just below $3,000 during the same period.
Analysts said rising commodity prices could reignite broader inflation fears heading into 2026.
Some market participants cautioned that sharp rallies often attract increased volatility.
Others said structural demand trends could support elevated silver prices over the longer term.
Kiyosaki’s forecast has intensified debate over whether current market conditions resemble earlier inflationary cycles.
Investors are expected to continue monitoring precious metals and digital assets as indicators of macroeconomic stress.
At the time of reporting, Bitcoin price was $87,774.03.
