SkyBridge Capital founder makes 'radical prophecy': Solana will surpass Ethereum
The financial sector has always been full of astonishing assertions and bold predictions. Recently, SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci dropped a 'bombshell' at the DigiAssets 2025 conference, instantly causing a stir in the cryptocurrency realm.
He candidly stated: 'Solana (SOL) is expected to surpass Ethereum (ETH).' This statement attracted strong attention and heated discussions among many investors, industry analysts, and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. However, this influential financial leader also cautiously added that while he is optimistic about the prospects of Solana, he does not intend to belittle Ethereum itself; he simply has not provided a specific timeline for Solana's market capitalization to exceed that of Ethereum. This leaves many with a sense of anticipation and curiosity about this potential 'cryptocurrency showdown' shrouded in the mists of time.
Anthony Scaramucci also shared his cryptocurrency investment journey, admitting that he only officially entered this field full of opportunities and challenges in 2020. In the initial market environment, he stated that he did not deeply understand Ethereum, whereas he had a more thorough understanding and research on Solana. It is this deep understanding and insight that has laid the foundation for his strong confidence in Solana's future development.
Now, SkyBridge Capital has made significant strides in the cryptocurrency space with impressive results. It is reported that the firm holds up to nine figures worth of Bitcoin and Solana on its balance sheet, reflecting its firm optimism and continuous investment in the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, about 40% of client funds are directed towards digital assets, with partners including reputable institutions in the industry such as Multicoin Capital and Brevan Howard Digital.
In addition to managing a fund of funds that includes digital funds, SkyBridge Capital also manages a cryptocurrency-specific fund with a scale of about $300 million. The fund's portfolio is diverse and rich, including Solana, Avalanche, Polkadot, and a large amount of Bitcoin, actively seeking various value growth opportunities in the cryptocurrency market, striving to bring substantial returns to investors. Every move in the crypto market by the firm keeps many investors on edge, triggering ongoing focus and in-depth analysis from the market.
