Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, is making a bold bet on Solana (SOL), predicting the cryptocurrency could reach $2,500 within the next five to ten years. His optimistic outlook, shared during a Solana Breakpoint conference interview, is anchored in the belief that Solana is poised to become a foundational financial "rail system" in an increasingly tokenized world, provided the United States establishes clearer regulatory frameworks.
Why Solana is Poised for Exponential Growth
Scaramucci views the $2,500 target as a long-term play, acknowledging that the journey will be marked by significant volatility. He highlighted recent macroeconomic challenges, including a "messy" year for US crypto regulation and persistent inflation, as factors that have likely slowed Solana's immediate trajectory. Despite these headwinds, he remains convinced that "the timing is still right" for substantial growth. Citing a prediction from longtime friend Paul Atkins, who foresees all assets being tokenized within five years, Scaramucci firmly believes Solana is the prime candidate to serve as the leading "rail system" for this massive shift, emphasizing that superior technology ultimately wins through adoption, not ideology. However, the path hasn't been without unexpected detours. Scaramucci noted his surprise at the emergence of Trump and Melania memecoins on Solana, which, while showcasing the network's impressive throughput and ability to handle large-scale transactions with certainty, also had a dual effect. He argued these memecoins inadvertently "slowed down the regulatory process in the US" by providing political "foil" for crypto opponents, leading to what he called "short-term regulatory damage." Furthermore, the memecoin craze "sucked out all the liquidity from a lot of the altcoins," hurting broader industry development despite spotlighting Solana's technical prowess.
Personal Conviction and Macroeconomic Tailwinds
Scaramucci openly revealed his personal investment strategy, stating he doesn't subscribe to "chain monogamy" and believes in a future where "three or four chains" will dominate, specifically naming Solana and Avalanche. He positions Solana as the network where "stocks and bonds are going to be tokenized" and large funds will operate, while Avalanche serves compliance-driven deployments. His conviction is evident in his personal portfolio, where Solana represents his largest individual holding, surpassing even Bitcoin, alongside positions in Avalanche and a small stake in Ethereum. Looking ahead, Scaramucci ties Solana's next growth phase to favorable macroeconomic conditions and US policy. He suggests that the passing of market-structure rules in the US next year could significantly boost prices. Additionally, a cooling inflation coupled with a more aggressive Federal Reserve under new leadership could inject substantial liquidity into the market, creating a "positive flywheel" for crypto assets. As of press time, SOL trades at $125, anticipating these shifts.
