SkyBridge’s Scaramucci Bets on Solana, Avalanche and TON as 2026 Altcoin Winners

Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, has pinpointed Solana, Avalanche, and TON as potential leading altcoins in 2026, attributing his predictions to future interest rate cuts and advancements in U.S. crypto regulation. In a recent discussion, Scaramucci linked 2025's hardships for altcoins to significant selling by 'whales' coinciding with new exchange-traded fund (ETF) demand and an October deleveraging event, which saw a 30% drop in Bitcoin's value as a secondary effect. Despite current bearish sentiment, he anticipates a rebound driven by lessened whale selling, continuous ETF demand, and regulatory clarity, particularly with initiatives like the Clarity Act fostering broader tokenization and adoption. Scaramucci commended Solana for its efficient and developer-centric platform, and sees potential in Avalanche and TON, the latter boosted by its association with the Telegram network. He remains optimistic about cryptocurrencies into 2026, recently adding Bitcoin to his portfolio with expectations of a supportive turn in policy.
