Robert Kiyosaki: Wall Street’s main bet is stablecoins, and Bitcoin was just the first step

Robert Kiyosaki, a prominent investor and author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," is convinced that Wall Street has changed its priorities. Whereas major financial players used to ignore or criticize cryptocurrencies, their main focus is now on stablecoins - not Bitcoin, which Kiyosaki said was only the "ticket" to the digital financial revolution.

In the last few years, banks, hedge funds, and management companies have radically revised their strategies: instead of fighting back, they have integrated digital assets into their infrastructure. Kiyosaki sees this as a logical development: Bitcoin has attracted attention, but it is the stablecoins that are opening the way to instant payments without the middlemen of traditional banks. At the same time, large stablecoin issuers are investing their reserves in US Treasury bonds, effectively becoming part of a system that recently rejected cryptography.

Among the beneficiaries of this trend, Kiyosaki names Coinbase, Circle, Block, PayPal and BlackRock. Coinbase, in his assessment, is benefiting from scale and regulatory discipline, and Circle - as the creator of the USDC - holds a unique position at the intersection of cryptocurrency and traditional finance. Previously, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong had voiced a similar point: the combination of stablebanks, artificial intelligence, and asset tokenization could modernize an outdated global financial architecture.
