Bitcoin will soar to $150,000 thanks to CLARITY Act - Edelman

Financial adviser Ric Edelman says the upcoming CLARITY Act could become a major turning point for Bitcoin and the wider crypto market.

Speaking on the Milk Road Podcast with John Gillen, Edelman said clearer crypto rules in the United States could help push Bitcoin above $150,000 before the end of 2026.

Bitcoin Could Reach $150K by 2026

Edelman believes the crypto market could enter another strong phase once the U.S. introduces clearer regulations. According to him, the CLARITY Act may give Wall Street firms the confidence to fully enter the crypto industry.

"I would not at all be surprised to see Bitcoin end the year above $150,000," Edelman said. He also reiterated his long-term prediction that Bitcoin could reach $500,000 by the end of the decade.

Old Retirement Strategies No Longer Work

During the interview, Edelman explained why he believes traditional strategies are becoming outdated as people live longer. For years, many advisers have recommended the "60/40 portfolio," where holders keep 60% in stocks and 40% in safer assets like bonds.

But Edelman said this approach may no longer work if people regularly live to 100 years old. Instead, he supports an "80/20" strategy, where 80% of stay in assets like stocks for much longer.

He also believes crypto should be part of that strategy. According to Edelman, holders could place at least 10% of their portfolio into crypto.

CLARITY Act Could Bring Huge Wall Street Funds Into Crypto

Edelman believes clearer regulation could be the biggest catalyst for crypto over the next few years.

He said that once the CLARITY Act is passed, large financial firms may quickly expand crypto exposure across their businesses.

According to him, this could create a major "flywheel effect," where rising adoption pushes prices higher and attracts even more buyers.

Edelman pointed to Morgan Stanley, which manages around $7 trillion in assets. He said that even a 2% to 3% allocation from large Wall Street firms could have a massive impact on Bitcoin's price.

One Hot Coin That Could Benefit Even More From a Bitcoin $150K Run

As Bitcoin moves closer toward a possible 150,000 USDT price target, many are now looking beyond large-cap coins for higher upside opportunities. One project attracting attention is Minotaurus (MTAUR) (http://minotaurus.io/insight/0177f0bf3ddb45f09f17ef3035116c11), a low-cost utility token connected to blockchain gaming.

MTAUR is still at a very early-stage price of 0.00012755 USDT. Just a few months ago, the token was near 0.00004 USDT, meaning it has already surged almost 218% without seeing a pullback.

Because the token remains cheap, some believe it could outperform larger cryptocurrencies during the next major crypto expansion cycle.

At the current price, around 20 USDT can buy roughly 156,000 MTAUR tokens. If the token later reaches 0.012 USDT, that holding would be worth close to 1,800 USDT. If it eventually reaches 0.12 USDT, that would be nearly 18,000 USDT.

Strong Interest Before Public Launch

Interest in the project has continued to improve ahead of its public launch. According to project data, Minotaurus has already attracted more than 3.19 million USDT in total deposits from early participants.

The project also starts with a relatively small market capitalization of 5.6 million USDT. Supporters believe that if adoption expands, the project could eventually reach much larger valuations, such as 56 or 560 million USDT.

The team has also teased upcoming partnerships, listing, and ecosystem announcements that could further improve attention around the token.

Utility Token With Real Use Cases

Minotaurus is built around a blockchain gaming ecosystem inspired by maze navigation mythology. Players use MTAUR tokens for in-game upgrades, customization options, and digital items inside the ecosystem. This gives the token ongoing utility tied directly to user activity and engagement.

The project has also undergone auditing. According to the Coinsult Proof of Assets report, the presale wallet showed zero outbound transactions during the full 549-day presale period. At the time of verification on Dec. 18, 2025, the wallet reportedly held more than 2.7 million USDT in on-chain assets.

Conclusion

If Bitcoin climbs toward 150,000 USDT as Ric Edelman predicts, many smaller crypto projects could see even larger percentage moves. Minotaurus (MTAUR) is positioning itself as one of those early-stage opportunities thanks to its low entry price, gaming utility, and expanding attention.
