SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci said he still sees a path to 
Solana reaching $2,500 over a five-to-ten-year horizon, arguing that 
tokenization plus clearer US regulation could turn Solana into a core 
financial “rail system.” Scaramucci made the remarks in an interview with 
SolanaFloor filmed during last week’s Solana Breakpoint conference and 
released on Dec. 18. Why Solana Is Still Poised For $2,500 Scaramucci framed 
the $2,500 thesis as a long-duration bet that won’t play out cleanly. “It’s 
not going to come without… volatility,” he said, pointing to what he called a 
messy US regulatory year and sticky inflation as headwinds that “probably 
slowed down our trajectory.” “If you had asked me at the beginning of the 
year” whether Washington would pass stablecoin legislation and “the market 
structure, the CLARITY bill,” he said he would have expected both. “That did 
not happen.” Still, he argued “the timing is still right,” with the caveat 
that price will likely remain jumpy until those macro and regulatory variables 
resolve. Related Reading: Solana (SOL) Support Shattered, Potential $100 Test 
Looms, Says Analyst To explain the patience required, Scaramucci leaned on a 
tech-investing analogy, recalling Amazon’s drawdowns by 90% before mass 
adoption. The lesson, in his words: stay with “great technology” through 
uncertain stretches because durable infrastructure eventually gets adopted. 
Asked what surprised him most this cycle, Scaramucci singled out the Trump and 
Melania memecoins. He described their Solana launch as “a compliment to 
Solana” because it was selected for “ability to handle large scale large 
volume transactions with great certainty and finality.” But he also argued the 
episode backfired on policy. “I think those coins slowed down the regulatory 
process in the US,” he said, suggesting that the optics of a US president 
entering the memecoin business created a political “foil” that opponents could 
use to resist crypto bills. “I think we would have gotten everything that we 
wanted this year had the president sort of stayed out of the meme coin 
business,” he added, calling it “short-term regulatory” damage. He also 
claimed the memecoin surge “sucked out all the liquidity from a lot of the 
altcoins,” which he said “hurt the industry,” even as it showcased Solana’s 
throughput. Tokenization Is The Endgame Scaramucci’s core argument was simple: 
tokenization is coming, and Solana is positioned to host a meaningful share of 
it. He said Paul Atkins, whom he described as a longtime personal friend, 
delivered what Scaramucci considers an underappreciated prediction: “In 5 
years all of our assets are going to be tokenized.” Scaramucci then pushed his 
own conclusion: “What’s going to be the number one rail system to tokenize on? 
It’s going to be Solana.” He argued superior systems tend to win through 
adoption, not ideology. “If you have something that works better than 
something else, it gets adopted,” he said, comparing Solana’s trajectory to 
the internet’s jump from dial-up to today’s high-bandwidth reality. He also 
flagged operational progress on the network. “I don’t want to jinx us,” he 
said, but suggested Solana had gone “two years now without any” downtime.

Infrastructure SolanaFloor challenged Scaramucci on why SkyBridge tokenized a 
$300 million fund on another chain. Scaramucci said it was “a very small 
fund,” and that a larger fund “will likely get tokenized on Solana.” He also 
rejected maximalism: “I don’t believe in chain monogamy,” he said. His view is 
that “three or four chains” will win, naming Solana and Avalanche. He argued 
Avalanche can be attractive for certain compliance-driven deployments, while 
Solana is where “stocks and bonds are going to be tokenized” and where “the 
larger funds are going to be tokenized.” Scaramucci also disclosed his 
personal positioning: “My largest personal position even greater than Bitcoin 
is my position in Solana and I have it all staked,” he said, adding he owns 
Avalanche and Bitcoin and holds a “very small position” in Ethereum. 
Scaramucci tied the next leg of the cycle to US policy and liquidity. If the 
US passes market-structure rules next year, he said, prices should respond. If 
inflation cools and the Fed can cut more aggressively under a new chair, he 
argued that would add liquidity and reinforce a “positive flywheel.” At press 
time, SOL traded at $125. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from
