- Scaramucci maintains a bullish long-term outlook on Bitcoin, predicting it will move above $100,000 again, driven by the next halving cycle (18-19 months away).
- The Clarity Act is considered a long-term positive for the crypto industry by providing regulatory clarity and banking access, but not a significant near-term price catalyst.
