Morgan Stanley alone manages roughly $7 trillion in client assets. If its advisers shift even 3% of that into Bitcoin, the math gets staggering fast. That scenario sits at the heart of what financial adviser Ric Edelman calls a potential “flywheel effect” — a chain reaction of institutional money that could send Bitcoin soaring past $150,000 before 2026 ends. Related Reading: XRP Bulls Gain Momentum As ETF Inflows Reach Multi-Month High Wall Street Is Waiting For A Green Light Edelman laid out the argument during a recent appearance on the Milk Road podcast with host John Gillen. He said traditional financial firms have largely stayed on the sidelines not because of disinterest, but because of regulatory uncertainty. Once the Clarity Act passes, he said, that changes. Large brokerages, wealth managers, and fund companies would be free to move — and Edelman believes many are ready to do exactly that. Morgan Stanley has already told its advisers to begin adding small crypto positions to client portfolios. Other Wall Street firms are watching closely. The ripple effect, Edelman argued, could be enormous. Rising prices pull in more investors. More investors push prices higher. That cycle feeds itself, and the result could be a rally unlike anything the crypto market has seen before. He also said his longer-term target remains $500,000 per Bitcoin before the decade closes. Why The 60/40 Portfolio Is Losing Ground Much of Edelman’s case connects to a broader shift in how he thinks retirement investing should work. For decades, the standard advice pointed investors toward a 60/40 split — 60% stocks, 40% bonds — with the bond share growing as retirement approached. Edelman says that model was built around a world where people died in their mid-80s. That world is fading. His research with institutions including the Stanford Center on Longevity and MIT AgeLab points to a future where living to 100 becomes common. Under traditional strategies, many of those people would run out of money. His answer is an 80/20 model, keeping 80% in equities and growth assets well into old age. Related Reading: Bitcoin Faces Major Test As 37% Recovery Collides With Bear Resistance Within that 80%, he said at least 10% belongs in crypto. Younger investors with higher risk tolerance, he suggested, could go as high as 40%. Edelman did not push a single coin. Bitcoin remains the dominant choice, but he acknowledged the growing role of Ethereum and Solana. Some investors use a market-cap weighted approach, putting more into Bitcoin while holding smaller positions in other assets. Others prefer exposure through companies like Coinbase and Robinhood, which are tied to the growth of the broader crypto sector. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView

Solana has entered a temporary correction phase following its strong breakout move, with profit-taking slowing momentum near key resistance levels. Even so, the overall market structure remains constructive, as the asset continues to hold above important support zones. If bulls regain strength and reclaim nearby resistance, SOL could be preparing for another leg higher within its broader bullish trend. First Target Zone Cleared Following 10% Breakout Rally The current market structure for Solana continues to lean bullish following its recent breakout above a key trendline resistance. According to analyst Bitcoin Meraklısı, the asset managed to hit its first upside target zone after an impressive rally of nearly 10%. However, once the price reached that area, sellers began stepping in, leading to profit-taking activity. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Dips Modestly, But Traders Still Expect Bigger Move The recent decline is currently being interpreted as part of a short-term correction rather than the beginning of a broader bearish reversal. After such a strong move higher, temporary pullbacks are considered natural, with the analyst noting that dips toward the $92 level would still fit within a technically healthy structure. For SOL to resume its bullish continuation, the price must break back above the key $98 resistance zone and hold above it successfully. A decisive move beyond this level would signal renewed strength from the bulls and could pave the way for another push toward the higher targets highlighted on the chart. Momentum may have cooled in the short term, but there are still no major signs of breakdown or trend deterioration at this stage. Solana Breaks Out Of Long-Term Descending Channel According to an analysis by CryptoXLARG, SOL has successfully broken out of a long-term descending channel, marking a significant structural shift. The asset is currently in a phase of consolidation within the $92 and $95 range, serving as the necessary foundation for a trend reversal after months of downward pressure. Related Reading: Solana Finds Strong Support At $84, But Its Network’s User Activity Is Fading The primary hurdle for bulls is securing a sustained move above the $95 mark. Once this level is confirmed as new support, the technical path opens toward $102.70 and, extending to $106.50 and $118.26. In a high-momentum market environment, CryptoXLARG indicates that macro targets as high as $143 and $163 could eventually come into play. On the defensive side, the $92 level acts as the immediate support floor to maintain short-term optimism. Should volatility increase, deeper support levels are situated at $89 and $78. A failure to hold $78 would effectively invalidate the current bullish structure and likely trigger a deeper correction back toward $70. Ultimately, the validity of this breakout hinges on SOL’s ability to hold its ground above the $95 pivot. While losing the $92 support would significantly weaken the structure.

CharuSan XRP, a market analyst, believes the XRP price could rise immediately to $300 once banks begin using it as a global settlement asset. The analyst framed this high price as a basic requirement for XRP to function as a global payment rail, not a speculative move. Furthermore, CharuSan noted that people who believe Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD could serve as a settlement layer instead of XRP are completely missing the point, citing supply dynamics to support his claims. XRP Price Forecasted To Jump To $300 After CLARITY Act In an X post this week, CharuSan predicted that XRP could rise to $300 shortly after the Digital Asset CLARITY Act is passed. If this happens, he believes that banks will begin adopting XRP globally, increasing demand for the token and likely fueling a price surge as more capital flows through it. Related Reading: XRP’s 1,220% Spike, What’s Going On And Who’s Driving The Growth? CharuSan argued that anyone who believes that XRP will only reach $5 or $10 does not understand how banking infrastructure works, comparing that mindset to viewing banks as separate grocery stores. He pointed out that Ripple, the largest holder of XRP, has already partnered with major infrastructure providers such as Volante, ACI, Worldwide, and FINASTRA. These institutions do not operate independently but serve thousands of institutions at the same time, acting as a single large network with a vast number of banks linked to it. Because of this, CharuSan said Ripple does not need to sign individual contracts with every bank. He noted that the moment the crypto company links to the central cloud, every bank tied to that system would instantly gain access to XRP’s liquidity. CharuSab also pushed back on the idea that it would take years for XRP to reach a significant market value, arguing that those who believe this fail to understand how fast the software world is. As a payment system, the analyst said that XRP, priced at just $10 to $20, would be like trying to move an ocean of water through a small straw. He said a much larger pipe is needed to handle that volume. He noted that as XRP’s price increases, so does its ability to handle large-scale global transfers at much greater speed. Analyst Argues XRP, Not RLUSD, Will Be Used By Banks Responding to crypto members who pushed back against his claims, CharuSan noted in a separate post that many XRP holders and critics “have no clue” what volatility, liquidity, slippage, bottlenecks, or On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) really mean. He argued that they are unaware of the roles of major banks and payment providers such as JPMorgan Chase, Mastercard, the DTCC, ACI, Volante, and others. Related Reading: XRP At $21.5 Isn’t A Bet: Why This Analyst Says A Measured Move Is Coming The analyst stated that many people keep claiming that, rather than XRP, Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD will be used for global bank transfers. He fired back against these claims, highlighting that RLUSD cannot handle trillion-dollar DTCC transfers or 0.10% of the 13,000 global banks with a supply of just 1.5 billion. He said that XRP, which has a circulating supply of over 61.7 billion tokens, is more positioned for this role. In terms of market value, CharuSan said that a high XRP price is mathematically necessary to prevent volatility and bottlenecks in the global financial system.
