- Robert Kiyosaki urged people to abandon fiat currency in favor of Bitcoin, gold, and silver, calling traditional money “fake” and corrupt.
- Meanwhile, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF hit a 19-day inflow streak, and Galaxy Digital secured approval for a Nasdaq listing, signaling growing institutional interest in crypto.
The crypto world never sleeps — and today proved no exception, with major developments across Bitcoin ETFs, regulatory landscapes, and influential voices sounding the alarm on fiat currency.
Kiyosaki Urges Flight from ‘Fake Money’
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, took to X today to double down on his disdain for centralized financial systems. Echoing former Congressman Ron Paul, Kiyosaki blasted the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy as a form of “price fixing” and “dishonest money.” He urged Americans to ditch fiat currency and instead invest in Bitcoin, gold, and silver, calling them more honest, decentralized alternatives.
“Fake money leads to fake leadership,” Kiyosaki warned, painting a bleak picture of economic integrity under centralized control.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Hits 19-Day Inflow Streak
Meanwhile, institutional interest in Bitcoin shows no signs of slowing. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, recorded its 19th consecutive day of inflows on May 9 — pulling in $356.2 million. That brings the fund’s weekly total to over $1 billion, as Bitcoin’s price continued to rally above the $100,000 mark.
This marks IBIT’s longest inflow streak of 2025, even outpacing the surge seen around President Trump’s January inauguration. Analysts see this as a sign of growing confidence among investors, despite volatility.
Galaxy Digital Gets Green Light for Nasdaq Debut
Another key milestone: Galaxy Digital has secured U.S. regulatory approval to redomicile in Delaware, paving the way for a much-anticipated Nasdaq listing. Pending shareholder approval and sign-off from the Toronto Stock Exchange, the crypto investment firm could begin trading under the GLXY ticker as soon as mid-May.
The move signals a growing trend of crypto firms seeking closer integration with traditional financial markets — and it’s likely only the beginning.
From Kiyosaki’s bold proclamations to Wall Street’s deepening crypto ties, today’s headlines highlight a rapidly evolving digital economy. Whether you’re a crypto skeptic or believer, the tides are shifting fast.
