Anthony Scaramucci: Solana will be the backbone of the global financial system.

At the Solana Accelerate 2025 conference, Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, shared a bold vision for the future of the financial industry – where Solana is placed at the center as a core platform.

According to Scaramucci, Solana (SOL) is not just another blockchain, but is on a journey to become the foundational layer of global financial infrastructure.

Currently, Scaramucci is writing a book titled Solana Rising, while he is also spending a lot of time deeply researching this ecosystem. His insights are backed by in-depth studies, interviews with top CTOs on Wall Street, and direct exchanges with the two co-founders of Solana, Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal.

Opportunity worth 7 trillion USD

One of the important highlights that Scaramucci pointed out at the conference is the figure of 7 trillion USD spent annually worldwide on transaction verification – a clear testament to the inefficiency of the current system. He noted that, with fast infrastructure and low costs, Solana has great potential to significantly reduce these costs, while also reshaping the way the global financial system operates.

“Imagine Solana as the operating layer for assets in the real world, similar to how Bitcoin serves as the operating layer for currency,” he shared.

From stocks, bonds, real estate to other alternative assets, Scaramucci believes that Solana will become the financial rail for the process of asset tokenization, driving the digitization of real value on a large scale.

IPO on blockchain without needing a bank

A revolutionary idea mentioned by Scaramucci is the ability to conduct an IPO ( initial public offering ) on Solana without the need for a bank account.

“You don’t need a bank account to participate in an IPO on the blockchain, you just need an e-wallet,” he explained.

Compared to traditional IPOs, which can have fees of up to 7%, the blockchain IPO solution through Solana can significantly reduce costs while expanding investment opportunities globally, making it easier for everyone to participate.

Financial institutions will not be left out of the game.

Despite ongoing legal uncertainties, Scaramucci asserts that the acceptance of blockchain by major financial institutions is just a matter of time. He predicts that large corporations like JPMorgan – even under the leadership of cryptocurrency skeptics such as Jamie Dimon – will eventually custody assets and develop yield-generating products based on Solana as well as other Layer-1 platforms.

“Solana will be an indispensable part of the financial system, where you can not only stake but also lend your assets – earning yields similar to traditional finance,” he emphasized.

With the combination of scalability, superior processing speed, and low costs, Scaramucci sees Solana not only as a powerful DeFi tool but also as a long-term bridge between the traditional financial system and the decentralized one, opening up a new era for the global finance industry.
