Skybridge Capital founder and managing partner Anthony Scaramucci sees bitcoin soaring to at least $170,000 after the halving in April, when the number of new bitcoin entering circulation shrinks again.
“Go back and look at Bitcoin halving cycles,” Scaramucci said on the Scott Melker podcast. “The day that Bitcoin halves, multiply it by four [and] 18 months later and it’s been uncanny that that’s been the price of Bitcoin.”

“I’m using a $35,000 number at the halving and that’s conservative … Let’s say we’re at $50,000 in April, then it’s a $200,000 handle. Let’s say we’re at $60,000, it will be $240,000,” he said.
As for his long-term price target, Scaramucci predicts bitcoin could easily reach half of the market capitalization of gold, which would bring the price of one coin up to roughly $400,000.
Scaramucci previously disclosed that he was the first external investor in BlackRock’s spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), prior to its approval on January 11.
Ahead of BlackRock's interest in a bitcoin ETF, its CEO Larry Fink was famously skeptical about the asset. In public interviews since his company last June filed paperwork for the ETF, however, Fink has done an about face, calling himself "a big believer."
“I’m going to give Larry a lot of credit, because Larry actually did the homework [on bitcoin],” Scaramucci said. “It takes a very smart leader to pridefully say that bitcoin sucks and then 24 months later say ‘you know what I got this wrong, BlackRock needs to be a part of this.’”

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
