Robert Kiyosaki, financial influencer and entrepreneur, is warning of yet another market crash, with “depression ahead” to boot. The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad urged his social media followers on Wednesday, October 1, to invest in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and precious metals, all while taking aim at Warren Buffett. A longtime advocate of hedging against market turmoil with gold and silver, Kiyosaki implied the Berkshire Hathaway chairman’s changing stance on the assets after years of criticism was hypocritical, prefacing his rant with a warning that feels like vomiting.  “I WANT TO VOMIT:  getting nauseus, listening to Buffet tout the virtues of gold and silver…. after he ridiculed gold and silver for years. That means the stock and bond market are about to crash. Depression ahead?” wrote the author. I WANT TO VOMIT: getting nauseus, listening to Buffet tout the virtues of gold and silver…. after he ridiculed gold and silver for years. That ...

The long-awaited REX-Osprey XRP ETF ($XRPR) launched on September 18, 2025, and immediately drew strong demand, recording $37.7 million in trading volume on its first day. In particular, this performance makes $XRPR the largest day-one “natural” dollar volume of any ETF debut in 2025, edging out the previous leader $IVES, and placing it ahead of hundreds of other new listings.  By comparison, the $DOJE ETF logged $17 million on launch day, which still ranked among the year’s top five out of over 710 ETF launches. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the milestone on X (formerly Twitter): “$XRPR traded $37.7m on Day One, which edges out $IVES for the biggest day one (natural) $ volume of any 2025 launch. $DOJE is no slouch at $17m, which would be Top 5 for year.. out of 710 launches. Good sign for the onslaught of 33 Act ETFs coming soon.” XRP exposure in the U.S. market The strong debut signals pent-up demand for regulated XRP exposure in ...

Futures contracts for Solana (SOL) are so mispriced that arbitrageurs are earning annualized interest rates of 23% on exchanges with institutional credibility and millions of dollars worth of available liquidity.  Yesterday, monthly CME futures contracts for SOL expiring in October were trading at a 2.8% premium to spot. That created a substantial yield for a two-legged trade that could have conservatively achieved a USD denominated annualized yield of 23%. The specific type of mispricing is contango — an anomaly when the futures price of an asset is higher than the expected spot price at contract expiration. To illustrate this, consider the simultaneous prices of SOL futures and spot SOL on the CME in October that one arbitrageur captured yesterday: $237.60 and $230.97, respectively . If an arbitrageur was indifferent to the price of SOL and simply wanted to lock in a market-neutral, USD-denominated yield, they could have shorted October futures contracts an...

Dogecoin (DOGE) is holding steady today, September 10, having broken above a symmetrical triangle pattern and showing signs of bullish momentum. Adding to the optimism are speculations about a potential DOGE exchange-traded fund (ETF), which is slated for launch on Thursday, September 11, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas; “Meme coin ETF era about to kick off it looks like with DOJE slated for a Thursday launch, albeit under the 40 Act a la $SSK. There’s a big group of ’33 Act-ers waiting for SEC approval still. Pretty sure this is first-ever US ETF to hold something that has no utility on purpose.” On-chain metrics also point to growing optimism, as whales have accumulated about 280 million DOGE so far this week, underscoring rising confidence among large holders. However, trading at around $0.24 at the time of writing, the meme coin faces immediate resistance at $0.29. A decisive close above that level, though, could fuel a su...

As the cryptocurrency market navigates another phase of bullishness despite recurring volatility, certain assets are likely to deliver notable profits for investors in the coming months. With the market flooded with options, selecting the right combination can be challenging. To this end, Finbold turned to OpenAI’s latest artificial intelligence platform, ChatGPT-5, to identify two cryptocurrencies with the potential to turn a modest $100 investment into $1,000 by 2026. XRP One contender is XRP. Unlike many cryptocurrencies that rely solely on retail speculation, ChatGPT noted that XRP is already experiencing real-world adoption through partnerships with major players such as Santander.  At the same time, the removal of its regulatory overhang in the United States has added further momentum, with legal clarity paving the way for a potential spot exchange-traded fund (ETF). According to the model, an ETF approval would be a watershed moment, opening the door...
