Could Crypto Hit $10 Trillion? A New Law Might Just Do It

The recent passing of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) has sparked excitement in the crypto world, with some predicting a massive market boom.

What is the CLARITY Act and Why is it Important?

The CLARITY Act, passed by the House in July 2025, aims to clarify which government agency—the SEC or the CFTC—regulates different crypto tokens. It also sets new rules for crypto trading platforms. This regulatory clarity is seen as crucial for attracting major investment.

Big Tech’s Potential Crypto Entry

Cardano co-founder, Charles Hoskinson, believes the CLARITY Act will encourage big tech companies (like Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, and Tesla) to jump into the blockchain space. With clear rules in place, these companies might finally feel comfortable investing heavily in crypto.

Hoskinson predicts a massive influx of capital, leading to a stablecoin market worth $1 trillion to $2 trillion. He envisions a total crypto market cap exceeding $10 trillion, calling it a “gigachad bullrun.” He also suggests that while Bitcoin might plateau, other cryptocurrencies (altcoins) could see significant gains.

Real-World Assets Take Center Stage

Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), like digital versions of real estate and bonds, are also expected to benefit. Putting these assets on blockchains like Cardano could speed up transactions and improve security, opening up new funding opportunities.

Even Bigger Predictions

Another bill, the GENIUS Act, could further accelerate the growth of stablecoins by strengthening their ties to banks and traditional markets. Bo Hines, a crypto advisor to President Trump, believes the overall crypto market could reach a staggering $15 trillion to $20 trillion in the coming years. This would be a massive increase from the current market cap of around $3.8 trillion.
