SkyBridge Crypto Assets Worth SkyBridge founder Anthony Scaramucci
while addressing CNBC, stated that the firm raised over $100
million for the new Algorand fund. Anthony was also the former
Director of White House Communications. It was Scaramucci who
valued the company’s crypto-assets to be about $700 million. The
CEO reaffirmed that crypto has come to stay. However, he added that
if regulations plan to fan the increasing adoption of digital asset
technology, they should take quick action. Anthony explained the
crypto adoption as similar to Uber, which the regulators planned to
knock out of the system. But the people later won because they
accepted its use. He predicts that the United States will start
recording up to 200 million crypto users in no distant time. The
SkyBridge CEO made these comments when spectators were concerned
about having a regulatory crackdown maned by SEC. Gary Gensler, the
head of SEC, had characterized the crypto sector as rife associated
with abuse and fraud. But Anthony Scaramucci, despite his
disagreement, appreciated Gary for his stake in crypto. He
explained that Gary had many people that are yet to understand
crypto in Congress fully. As a result, they have a lot of
negativity, and he will call on elites like Elizabeth Warren to
attend such a conference. However, sitting with members of the
industry will make her understand the protocols better. Anthony
suggests that the need to carry everyone alone by educating them.
Other Finance Magnates Opinion Other finance lords in their speech
didn’t share Anthony’s optimism. Instead, they doubted the
possibility of crypto adoption outrunning the grip of strong-handed
regulations. Related Reading | While Broader Crypto Market
