Kiyosaki Holds Gold Buy Trigger as Crypto Catalysts Fail to Boost Prices

Robert Kiyosaki called the recent decline in gold prices “great news.” The investor said he is waiting for technical charts to signal a reversal before adding more of the metal to his portfolio. Gold was at $4,128 on Tuesday, falling since the start of the year.

Kiyosaki does not treat price alone as a buy or sell signal. He said he evaluates economic and political conditions around an asset. His stance on gold matters for crypto traders who track capital flows between safe-haven metals and digital assets. If gold reverses and attracts renewed attention, the rotation could pull capital away from crypto markets already struggling to hold gains.

Two large crypto developments this week failed to move prices higher. Ripple received preliminary MiCA approval in Europe, a regulatory milestone that could expand XRP-based payment services across the region. Chainlink announced Project Pangea, a cross-border settlement initiative backed by banks with more than $10 trillion in assets under management. Both would normally serve as bullish catalysts.

XRP is lower on the week despite the MiCA news. LINK is flat. The missed reaction is fueling a debate among traders: macro conditions are overriding project-specific fundamentals right now. Several traders following both assets said the broader sentiment picture dominates. When good news cannot drive prices up, the asset class looks vulnerable to further macro-driven selling.

Gold’s direction remains a focal point. Kiyosaki said he is monitoring for a technical reversal pattern before he buys more. A confirmed bottom in the metal would test whether crypto’s recent catalysts can break through the macro gravity. Until that happens, project announcements are secondary to the flow picture. Gold was at $4,128 on Tuesday, down 6% from its January peak.
