Overview

  • Robert Kiyosaki likened ETF holdings to a “picture of a gun” for defense and urged investors to keep physical gold, silver and Bitcoin for true crisis protection.
  • He conceded that ETFs lower barriers for average investors and specifically recommended Gold, Silver and Bitcoin ETFs while warning against relying solely on paper instruments.
  • Data from Coinglass shows Bitcoin ETFs have reached a combined market cap of $152.73 billion, led by BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust.
  • Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted that ETFs are legally required to hold actual assets on a one-for-one basis under regulatory custody rules.
  • The rapid growth of exchange-traded funds reveals a growing tension between convenient, liquid exposure and the risk of limited redemption during market stress.
