“When I entered the industry, biotech stocks were hot, then they flipped into insurance stocks, and then the alternative investing world was in hedge funds (…) We go through waves and cycles of what’s in and what’s out of fashion. The weird thing is that Ethereum has become obsolete.” A little bit, which surprised me because it has such great applications and it has such muscle power (…) and it has dominance so I think Ethereum is a winner, and I think it’s a long-term winner.
The billionaire investor emphasized Ethereum’s strong ecosystem, highlighting its widespread utility and solid track record. His point is that while newer chains may offer speed and lower costs, Ethereum still holds a vital position as the smart contract platform of choice for countless decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols.
Solana (Sunday)
After reaffirming his faith in Ethereum, Scaramucci turned his attention to Solana (SOL), touting its performance and cost-effectiveness: “I think Solana — it’s cheaper, it’s faster, and now this network is handling a lot of volume. It’s got a good cross-section of different things that Speak (…) We have been like Solana for a long time. It will be fully revealed and I will tell you that.
Dotted (DOT)
Continuing his survey of promising altcoins, Scaramucci singled out Polkadot (DOT) for its potential in Web3 and gaming: “I own Polkadot. I like what Polkadot can do in the gaming industry, and I remain a firm believer that Web3 gaming will happen (…) There will be some kind of The renaissance is there.”

While it may be difficult to envision the full potential of blockchain-based gaming experiences right now, Scaramucci believes Polkadot’s interoperability-focused platform could be instrumental in powering the immersive digital ecosystems that lie on the horizon.
Avalanche (AVAX)
Scaramucci didn’t stop there, as he briefly touched on Avalanche (AVAX) as another network he expects to do well in the broader cryptocurrency market. Although he provided less specific details, his endorsement points to Avalanche’s known strengths — such as scalability, fast finality, and a growing portfolio of decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. “I think the Avalanche will do well,” he said.
Algorand (something)
Turning to Algorand, Scaramucci shared insights from his original personal possessions, which he kept for four years. While he acknowledges the shifts in the platform’s management, he remains optimistic: “I think (Algorand) lost a step when they made some management changes, but there’s a guy named John Wood over there (…) I think he’s a very, very, very good person.” Smart guy, and he puts some things together, and I think those things are undervalued.”
Sui and Aptos
Concluding his altcoin picks, Scaramucci also named Sui (SUI) and Aptos (APT) as two projects with strong long-term prospects: “Sui and Aptos – I’m also a believer in them in the long term. I don’t think there will be one series.”
Finally, Scaramucci clarified his broader stance on the crypto-asset landscape, emphasizing Bitcoin as the undisputed market leader, while insisting that alternative blockchains will also play crucial roles: “Bitcoin is the pope, but there is a college of cardinals…which will be “Very useful.” In terms of what their applications and networks will ultimately be over the next five to fifteen years.
At press time, Ethereum was trading at $3,319.
