Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, has publicly endorsed the Avalanche (AVAX) network, suggesting it is on the verge of significant growth. In a recent X post, Scaramucci stated, "Avalanche has been building and its moment is coming," indicating his firm support for the Layer-1 blockchain [1].

The endorsement comes as Avalanche, launched in 2020, aims to provide a scalable and secure infrastructure for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Initially dubbed an "Ethereum Killer," Avalanche has positioned itself as a competitor to Ethereum in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, despite Ethereum's larger market value and DeFi presence [2].

Key to Avalanche's strategy is the concept of "purpose-built chains," as discussed by John Nahas, Chief Business Officer at Ava Labs, in a video from the Tokenized Asset Coalition. Nahas highlighted how Avalanche is moving away from piling everything into single chains, instead focusing on the idea of "Your business, your blockchain" [1].

One of Avalanche's standout features is its Subnets, which are interoperable networks within the ecosystem that can be tailored to specific use cases. This flexibility allows Avalanche to cater to various applications, from DeFi to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and more.

Scaramucci has previously revealed that AVAX is part of his cryptocurrency portfolio and considers it a "high-quality, great core asset" for the long term [1]. At the time of writing, AVAX was trading at $22.31, up 0.95% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro [1].
