Hedge fund expert and former White House Press Secretary Anthony Scaramucci asserts that Ethereum’s primary competitor will significantly influence the upcoming “layer-1 blockchain financial revolution.”

During a conversation at the Solana Breakpoint 2024 conference, the founder of SkyBridge Capital highlighted the overwhelming number of intermediaries in the securities and finance sectors, which create unnecessary complications for users. Scaramucci believes that Solana (SOL) has the potential to streamline this process, potentially unlocking $7 trillion in capital that could be reinvested into the economy.

He explained, “The challenge within the securities sector isn’t just a single intermediary; it often involves seven or eight different entities. When you purchase a stock from my account, it has to pass through multiple channels before it reaches yours. When I entered the industry 35 years ago, it was T+5 (trade day plus five days). Now, we’ve improved to T+1, but there is still a significant amount of friction in the system.”

Scaramucci emphasized that once trade processes are clarified and optimized, the system could function flawlessly. He expressed optimism about the potential for tokenization on Solana, stating, “I own a considerable amount of Solana and firmly believe it will happen.”

He concluded with a thought-provoking insight: “Globally, $7 trillion is spent on transaction verification in industries like credit cards and wire transfers. Imagine if we could tokenize assets, remove intermediaries, and leverage a distributed network for mutual trust—reallocating that $7 trillion back into the economy.”

As of the latest update, Solana is valued at $146.04.
