Scaramucci will invest in a crypto company started by the former CEO of FTX US.

It is understood that the cryptocurrency software provider will make it possible for traders to develop algorithmic-based approaches to access various markets.

Anthony Scaramucci, the founder of SkyBridge Capital, has invested in a cryptocurrency business started by the former head of FTX US.

In an email to Bloomberg, Scaramucci stated that he would use his own funds to support former FTX US President Brett Harrison's new business, which had just been made public three weeks after FTX's demise.

It is believed that the unnamed crypto software company will give crypto traders the ability to develop algorithmic-based access strategies to various markets, both centralized and decentralized.

Harrison is rumored to have been looking for a fundraising target as high as $10 million for a $100 million valuation.

Harrison posted a lengthy thread on Sam Bankman-Fried and his time at FTX US on January 14, and in response, Scaramucci tweeted that he was "proud" to be an investor in Harrison's new business.

Scaramucci thanked Harrison in a tweet response, and Harrison added, "Your support and advice mean the world to me. I'm eager to collaborate with you!

Scaramucci received a stake, but the amount of capital used was not made public.

Harrison's new cryptocurrency project was first alluded to on September 27 when he declared his resignation as president of FTX US.

He announced at the time that he was stepping down from his presidency but would continue to work with the exchange in an advisory capacity for the upcoming few months.

At the time, he said, "I can't wait to share more about what I'm doing next."

Harrison explained in his most recent thread on Twitter that he abruptly left the company after his relationship with Bankman-Fried deteriorated and that the difficulties caused him to "focus to the future and to my own company."

Scaramucci continues to have high hopes for the cryptocurrency market's recovery this year and refers to 2023 as a "recovery year" for the market.

The cryptocurrency investor predicted that Bitcoin (BTC) will rise to a price between $50,000 and $100,000 within the following two to three years in an interview with CNBC on Jan. 15.

"You are taking a risk, but you also believe in the adoption of [Bitcoin]. Therefore, if the adoption goes smoothly, which I think it will, this could easily be a $50,000 to $100,000 asset over the next two to three years, he continued.

At the time of publication, Bitcoin's price was $21,240, up 21.77% from the previous week.

Bears betting against the Asian currency are retreating as the inflation outlook improves.

According to a poll conducted by Reuters, bearish bets on emerging Asian currencies have eased on the hopes that monetary tightening will cool the red-hot inflation that has been plaguing the region. In particular, short bets on the Thai baht have fallen sharply following the first rate hike in the country in nearly four years. According to the results of a biweekly survey conducted by 12 financial analysts, short positions on all emerging Asian currencies decreased, with bets on China's yuan reaching their lowest level since late April. Short bets on the Singapore dollar, the Indonesian rupiah, and the Philippine peso all dropped to multi-month lows. The fact that the United States' inflation rate remained unchanged in July, marking the first significant sign of relief after a prolonged period of rising prices, also contributed to an improvement in the mood throughout the region. After the Bank of Thailand (BoT) raised its interest rate by 25 basis points on Wednesday, short b

Weekly EUR/USD Forecast: The Dollar Bulls Are Back, So Stop The Downturn

The EUR/USD pair continued to rise during the first half of the week, but dramatically failed at parity, ending the week at roughly 0.9750, resulting in a minor weekly loss. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, optimism ruled supreme as Wall Street reported enormous gains and government bonds continued their weekly advances. Risk appetite is supporting the EUR/USD exchange rate. Market participants anticipated that central banks will reduce the pace of quantitative tightening sooner rather than later due to the increasing possibility of a global recession. This speculative activity as well as the demand for high-yielding assets were fueled by the Reserve Bank of Australia's lower-than-anticipated 25 basis point increase in the cash rate. But the positive energy was short-lived. On Wednesday, when the EU suggested additional penalties against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine in February, the value of the common currency started to decline. Following the illegitimate takeover of
