Prominent financial advisor Ric Edelman says investors should consider putting as much as 40% of their wealth into cryptocurrency, a bold recommendation that reflects how far digital assets have come in recent years.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I am saying 40%, that\u2019s astonishing,\u201d Edelman told CNBC\u2019s Crypto World<\/a> on Friday. \u201cNo one has ever said such a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Edelman, founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals, has been active in crypto for over a decade. He first urged investors to allocate part of their portfolios to bitcoin BTC in 2018. In his 2021 book \u201cThe Truth About Crypto,\u201d he described even a 1% crypto allocation as \u201creasonable\u201d for most people.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Now, Edelman believes the case for crypto exposure is far stronger, pointing to what he called a \u201cmassive change\u201d in the industry over the past four years. In particular, he highlighted growing political support for digital assets, especially following the election of U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, all those questions have been resolved,\u201d Edelman said, referring to regulatory uncertainty and institutional hesitation. \u201cIt\u2019s radically changed and is now a mainstream asset.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Edelman\u2019s firm, Edelman Financial Engines, manages nearly $300 billion in assets. Though traditionally known for retirement planning and wealth management, the firm\u2019s growing attention to digital assets mirrors a broader trend among financial institutions embracing crypto as a legitimate asset class.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Even though Edelman described crypto as the \u201cbest investment opportunity of the decade,\u201d he acknowledged that a 40% allocation may not suit everyone, suggesting a more conservative 10% for those with lower risk tolerance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Edelman\u2019s recommendation marks one of the most aggressive calls from a mainstream financial figure to date. Most financial advisors in the U.S. are currently recommending well under 5% to their clients.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
