In an interview with popular crypto-focused YouTube channel Altcoin Daily, veteran financier and SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci revealed his top altcoins to buy and hold in 2025. Scaramucci, a former White House Communications Director and longtime Wall Street professional, provided his insights on various crypto assets—starting with his bullish stance on Ethereum (ETH) and expanding to a range of altcoins he believes will play a central role in shaping the future of decentralized technology. Ethereum: The Long-Term Crypto Winner


Scaramucci began by identifying Ethereum as one of his key picks for the coming years. According to him, Ethereum’s market perception has undergone cyclical changes, which he likened to trends going “in and out of fashion.” Reflecting on his decades of experience in traditional finance, Scaramucci explained: Related Reading Crypto Market Will Peak In Mid To Late March, Predicts Arthur Hayes 3 days ago


“When I got into the industry, biotech stocks were hot, then it flipped over to insurance stocks, and then it was the world of alternative investing in hedge funds […] We go through waves and cycles of what’s in and out of fashion. And so weirdly, Ethereum is like out of fashion a little bit, which I’m surprised by because it’s got such great applications and it’s got a muscularity to it […] and it’s got dominance. So I do believe Ethereum is a winner, and I think it’s a long-term winner.”


The billionaire investor underscored Ethereum’s robust ecosystem, highlighting its wide-ranging utility and established track record. His view is that while newer chains may offer speed and lower costs, Ethereum still holds a vital position as the smart contract platform of choice for countless decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols. Solana (SOL)


After reaffirming his faith in Ethereum, Scaramucci turned his attention to Solana (SOL), touting its performance and cost-effectiveness: “I think that Solana—it’s cheaper and faster, and now that network is handling lots of volume. It’s got a good cross-section of different things going on […] We’re long a lot of Solana. I’ll be fully disclosed and tell you that.” Polkadot (DOT)


Continuing his survey of promising altcoins, Scaramucci singled out Polkadot (DOT) for its potential in Web3 and gaming: “I own Polkadot. I like what Polkadot is capable of doing in the gaming industry, and I’m still a big believer that Web3 gaming will happen […] There’ll be sort of a Renaissance there.” Related Reading Best Altcoins In 2025: Top Analyst Reveals His Picks 1 week ago


He drew an analogy between today’s early-stage Web3 environment and the era of VHS tapes and Blockbuster Video. While it may be difficult to visualize the full potential of blockchain-based gaming experiences right now, Scaramucci believes Polkadot’s interoperability-focused platform could be instrumental in powering immersive digital ecosystems that lie just over the horizon. Avalanche (AVAX)


Scaramucci did not stop there, briefly touching onAvalanche (AVAX) as another network he foresees doing well in the broader crypto market. Although he provided fewer specific details, his endorsement points to Avalanche’s known strengths—scalability, fast finality, and a growing suite of decentralized finance (DeFi) projects. “I think Avalanche will do well,” he stated. Algorand (ALGO)


Turning to Algorand, Scaramucci shared insights from his personal holding in the asset, which he’s maintained for four years. Acknowledging the platform’s management shifts, he nevertheless remains optimistic: “I think [Algorand] lost a step when they made some management changes, but there’s a guy by the name of John Wood there […] I think he’s a very, very, very smart guy, and he’s putting some stuff together there, and I think that one is undervalued.” Sui And Aptos


Rounding out his altcoin picks, Scaramucci also named Sui (SUI) and Aptos (APT) as projects with solid long-term prospects: “Sui and Aptos—I’m a long-term believer in those as well. I don’t think there’ll be one chain.”


Ultimately, Scaramucci illustrated his broader stance on the crypto asset landscape, underlining Bitcoin as the undisputed market leader, yet insisting that alternative blockchains will also play crucial roles: “Bitcoin is the pope, but there’s a college of cardinals… that will be very useful in terms of what their applications are and their networks ultimately become over the next five to fifteen years.”
