Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci says Trump’s proposal to cap credit-card interest at 10% is a hard-left populist move, more aligned with Democratic policy than GOP orthodoxy, though it would require congressional approval. He ties the stance to Trump’s reported text exchanges with New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani and notes bankers’ objections, while colleagues debate the GOP’s identity amid broader consumer debt strain.

FTX claims these investments provided little benefit to the company and were instead used to bolster Bankman-Fried's reputation. The lawsuits are part of ongoing efforts to address the fallout from FTX's collapse and Bankman-Fried's subsequent conviction for fraud and money laundering.

Bitcoin ETF Approval Delayed by SEC as Scaramucci's SkyBridge Clashes with Grayscale

SkyBridge Capital, led by Anthony Scaramucci, has expressed support for the recent wave of Bitcoin spot ETF applications that have been submitted to the SEC, putting it at odds with Grayscale. While Grayscale has raised concerns about Coinbase's suitability as a surveillance partner, SkyBridge strongly disagrees and believes that Coinbase is well-equipped for the task. SkyBridge argues that the SEC does not need to delay applications to allow other market participants to catch up, and that all issuers could revise their practices to comply with the rules if the pending applications are approved. Grayscale, on the other hand, has sued the SEC to force the approval of its prior applications, which would use the CME Bitcoin Futures market to address fraud concerns.
