During a Bloomberg TV interview on February 15, Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, discussed the crypto market’s rebound, Coinbase’s profitability, and his views on SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s approach to cryptocurrency.
Scaramucci stays optimistic about Bitcoin’s future despite regulatory challenges, maintaining his forecast of a notable price surge. He relies on a technical analysis spanning 14 years, suggesting that multiplying the price at Bitcoin’s halving by four indicates its potential trajectory in the cycle. This approach suggests that his $170,000 prediction might be conservative considering the current momentum.
Scaramucci Reflects on Bitcoin’s Recovery and Coinbase’s Profitability
Scaramucci opened by noting Bitcoin’s impressive rebound from its late 2022 lows, reaching around $52,000 and signaling a positive shift in market momentum. He praised Bitcoin’s resilience amidst market challenges.

The rebound holds significance for platforms like Coinbase, which recently reported a profit after two years. Scaramucci attributed this success to the overall improvement in the crypto market, highlighting the profitability of staking on altcoins and its significant profit margins. Despite potential losses from ETFs, the market’s capitalization uplift has provided a substantial revenue boost.

Expanding on Bitcoin’s resurgence, Scaramucci discussed its broader impact on the crypto ecosystem. He observed that as Bitcoin gains strength, it influences other assets. This leads to profits from Bitcoin being reinvested into assets like Ethereum and Solana, which are now considered part of the “big boys club,” despite being perceived as riskier relative to Bitcoin.
Scaramucci Discusses Coinbase’s Regulatory Compliance and SEC Challenges
Scaramucci highlighted Coinbase’s reputation as one of the top cryptocurrency exchanges globally, emphasizing its commitment to safety and regulatory compliance. This assurance is particularly important for investors navigating the volatile crypto market. However, he also acknowledged the challenges posed by SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s cautious approach to crypto regulation, especially regarding the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and the potential for ETFs backed by other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum.
Scaramucci commented on the evolving relationship between Wall Street and the crypto market, noting a shift in attitudes among Wall Street leaders. He observed a growing recognition of the value and potential of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This shift, he believes, is driven by a deeper understanding and research into the decentralized properties and immutability of the Bitcoin network.
