With the widely publicized collapse of the Terra (LUNA) ecosystem, the cryptocurrency-focused lender Celsius, brokerage firm Voyager Digital, and hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), Scaramucci stressed that: However, he doesn’t think the price of the maiden cryptocurrency would immediately soar in the nearest future, taking into account the situation at the macroeconomic level and the fact that “these are volatile assets”, therefore “people need to take a four to five years view of these assets.” Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading at $23,343, which is an improvement of 2.19% on the day, as well as an increase of 9.52% across the previous week, according to data retrieved from CoinMarketCap on August 3.

According to the report, about 20% of this fund was in private investments, and the management company decided to keep its structure unchanged after a sell recommendation by Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS). Commenting on this development, Scaramucci said that: After liquidating some of its private investments, Scaramucci explained that “we will then let whoever wants to get out.” Disclaimer: The content on this site should not be considered investment advice.
