During his speech at Solana Breakpoint 2025, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital predicted that 2026 is going to be a breakthrough year for the most prominent “Ethereum killer.”
According to the American financier, a slew of large-scale companies of the likes of BlackRock, Blackstone, and JPMorgan could start using the network for transactions.
Earlier this month, Scaramucci predicted that Solana would be among the “big winners” when it comes to tokenization.
SkyBridge Capital holds significant amounts of SOL on its balance sheet alongside Bitcoin.
Scaramucci has publicly predicted that Solana could surpass Ethereum in market cap.
Capital participated as an investor alongside other major backers (like Jump Crypto, Multicoin Capital, and Galaxy) in deals tied to Solana ecosystem projects.
He has even penned his own book about the blockchain called “Solana Rising,” which became available for pre-order in late November.
Hence, Scaramucci’s bullishness is not particularly surprising.
It is worth noting that Solana has already gained some traction with institutions. For instance, BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund (BUIDL) supports the Solana blockchain. The fund’s digital tokens can be issued, traded, and held on the Solana blockchain.
Regulatory breakthrough
Scaramucci claims that the CLARITY Act, a major framework for non-stablecoin digital assets, is going to pass despite some opposition from the Democrats. “I think it’s very likely that it’s going to be passed next year,” he said.
The likely passage of the bill will create a pathway for the tokenization of real-world assets, Scaramucci predicts.
