Former Director of White House communications Anthony Scaramucci expressed his concern with regard to the American president Donald TrumpThe expansion of participation in the cryptocurrency industry, warning that it could compromise bipartite efforts to establish good digital asset policies.
What happened: Speaking during the Financial Times Digital Asset Summit, Scaramucci criticized what he described as “distractions” posed by crypto-line companies in Trump, including a Solara SOL / USD-Meme corner, a stablecoin supported by his son Eric TrumpAnd several commercial partnerships with entities like Crypto.com.
He argued that these companies could potentially open “corruptions, corruption and other sinister behaviors”.
“Even if we give them the benefit of the doubt,” said Scaramucci about the crypto interests of the Trump family “, the presence of these companies complicates efforts to constitute a consensus in Washington, in particular with older legislators still skeptical about crypto.”
Scaramucci has recognized the overall performance of the Trump administration in the cryptography sector, giving it a note “B-Plus, A-Minus” and the praise of Crypto Advisor David Sacks To build bridges with democratic legislators.
However, he criticized Trump’s executive order to establish a Bitcoin BTC / USD Reserve, arguing that such a unilateral action undermines the long -term stability, because a future administration could easily reverse it.
“What is necessary is bipartite commitment, not the executive fiat,” said Scaramucci, comparing the role of Bitcoin in the American economy to essential products such as oil or rare land metals.
