Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, believes the recent Bitcoin sell-off lacks a rational basis and stems from some investors viewing Bitcoin as a "risk-on" asset.
In a recent X <a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1852380175071166645" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post</a>, he argued that the dip was driven by reactions to market volatility in tech stocks rather than any specific issue with Bitcoin itself.

 This is why it matters that <a href="https://twitter.com/BlackRock?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@BlackRock</a> is better than anyone at articulating to its clients why <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">#bitcoin</a> is a diversifier and a hedge, and not “risk on”. Yesterday bitcoin sells off for no good reason (“because tech is down!”) and all other bitcoin ETFs see big outflows….but…— Anthony Scaramucci (@Scaramucci) <a href="https://twitter.com/Scaramucci/status/1852380175071166645?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">November 1, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
Scaramucci highlighted BlackRock’s influence in helping investors understand Bitcoin as a long-term, diversifying hedge instead of a high-risk asset.
He also pointed out that while other Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows during this period, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded $315 million in inflows on the same day.

The sell-off follows broader market dynamics, including a net outflow of $54.9 million in Bitcoin spot ETFs on Nov. 1, after a week of net inflows.
However, BlackRock’s IBIT has continued to see strong demand, reaching a record $875 million inflow on Oct. 30, with spot Bitcoin ETFs collectively drawing in $917.2 million in a single day — the largest since March.

 Here we go again.. if we agree that price is the net result of buyers and sellers and the ETFs have been (massive, arguably Herculean) buyers, then I'd say it's you who should talk to your friends Holmes. <a href="https://t.co/jnt2KpdIPM" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/jnt2KpdIPM</a>— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) <a href="https://twitter.com/EricBalchunas/status/1852081589196312918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">October 31, 2024</a>

Despite this sustained investor interest, Bitcoin’s price fell below $70,000 on Friday.

As<a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-to-skyrocket-after-fed-rate-cut-anthony-scaramucci-makes-epic-btc-prediction" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> by U.Today, Scaramucci accurately predicted that the Bitcoin price would skyrocket following the Federal Reserve's rate cut.
The founder of SkyBridge Capital recently<a href="https://x.com/Scaramucci/status/1851647954123145282" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a> that Bitcoin is still "very early."
"If you’re watching #Bitcoin make new highs and thinking you missed the boat - you didn’t," he wrote.
Scaramucci has encouraged potential Bitcoin investors to actually read the Bitcoin white paper and listen to prominent Bitcoin evangelists of the likes of MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor and ShapeShift founder Erik Voorhees. <a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-is-hedge-anthony-scaramucci-on-blackrocks-buying-dip" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Read original article on U.Today</a>
