Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Scaramucci Says He Would Like Bitcoin to Surge to $150K Original Link: SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci has adjusted his Bitcoin price expectations, setting a target range of $125,000 to $150,000 while acknowledging the difficulty in predicting BTC price action.

Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Scaramucci noted that Bitcoin currently hovers below the $90,000 level, roughly 28% below its October 2025 all-time highs. He previously predicted Bitcoin would reach $170,000 by late 2025, but attributed the failure of that target to miscalculating Washington’s regulatory pace.

“All of us in the bitcoin community got overly enthusiastic about the end of repressive regulation in digital assets… and none of that happened,” Scaramucci admitted.

The main obstacle has been the stalled Clarity Act, a crucial market structure bill designed to delineate jurisdiction between the SEC and CFTC. This legislative delay has significantly impacted market sentiment and price trajectory.

According to recent reports, the sweeping U.S. crypto market structure bill is now likely to be delayed until late February or March, as the White House prioritizes “Main Street” economic pressures and housing legislation. The Senate is focusing on bills restricting government-backed agencies from facilitating institutional investor home purchases.

The path to Bitcoin reaching $150,000 may ultimately depend on whether the Clarity Act can successfully pass a Senate vote.
