Anthony Scaramucci, an influential cryptocurrency advocate and founder of investment firm SkyBridge Capital, has alternated between supporting President Donald Trump’s pro-cryptocurrency pivot and warning of the potential pitfalls of some of his decisions.
What happened: Scaramucci, who served as the White House Communications Director for a brief 11-day stint during Trump’s previous presidency, has evolved into a vocal critic of the president on matters such as tariffs and economic growth.
That said, Scaramucci hasn’t hesitated in giving credit to Trump for some of the latter’s cryptocurrency policies.
At the peak of the presidential campaign last year, Scaramucci praised Trump for moving the needle on digital asset regulation and forcing a bipartisan conversation.
“I will applaud him for coming towards the industry,” Scaramucci said about Trump.
Scaramucci has maintained that he is not a single-issue voter, and while he respects Trump and the Republicans’ efforts to push Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to the forefront, he is aware of the risks associated with Trump’s presidency.
