Anthony Scaramucci: BTC could reach $150,000 if regulatory issues are resolved
Bitcoin’s price could surge to $150,000
Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci anticipates a significant rise in Bitcoin’s value, driven by a potential shift toward a less politicized regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies under a future U.S. administration.
As a major investor in Bitcoin and Solana, Scaramucci believes that a depoliticized regulatory landscape could foster growth in decentralized finance (DeFi) and blockchain sectors. He predicts Bitcoin’s price could surge to $150,000 if regulatory hurdles are addressed.
Additionally, Scaramucci revealed that former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and former Acting Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks are reportedly working on a "100-day plan" to revise stablecoin regulations and clarify asset classifications. According to him, this initiative could greatly benefit the cryptocurrency sector.
While Scaramucci supported Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent presidential election, he acknowledged Donald Trump’s positive stance on cryptocurrencies. He expressed willingness to contribute to shaping cryptocurrency legislation if given the opportunity. However, he warned that Trump’s isolationist policies could negatively impact the U.S. economy.
Depoliticization is the soil for growth
"I think Bitcoin has been suppressed by misguided politicized regulation in the U.S., and that’s one good thing about the Trump administration—they’re likely to depoliticize crypto regulation, which would be very beneficial for the industry," Scaramucci said in an interview with Benzinga.
This change, combined with proposed updates to stablecoin legislation and asset categorization, could create a more favorable environment for cryptocurrencies, potentially boosting their value.
A potential shift toward a less politicized regulatory environment may lead to significant growth in DeFi and blockchain sectors. However, the impact of political changes on the regulatory landscape remains to be seen.
Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital and a prominent advocate for Bitcoin, reassured potential investors this week that it is not “too late” to invest in Bitcoin, despite the cryptocurrency's recent price surge.
In his view, the digital asset remains in the early stages of its growth trajectory, and substantial opportunities lie ahead.
