Anthony Scaramucci Urges Banks to Prepare for Cryptocurrency Disruption

Anthony Scaramucci Urges Banks to Prepare for Cryptocurrency Disruption

Speaking at the Consensus Hong Kong conference, Scaramucci compared crypto’s growth to Uber’s disruption of the taxi industry, warning that change is inevitable.

Fact Check
The assessment hinges almost entirely on a single, highly relevant and authoritative primary source. The MSN article is described as discussing Anthony Scaramucci's position as a 'crypto bull' and explicitly mentioning 'the relationship between cryptocurrencies and traditional banks.' Given its high relevance (0.90) and authority (0.80), this source is very likely to contain the specific statement or a close paraphrase of it. Scaramucci, as a prominent crypto advocate, often speaks about the technology's disruptive potential, making the statement consistent with his public persona. The other provided sources do not contradict this claim; they are simply irrelevant to the specific statement about banks. They discuss Scaramucci urging different groups (investors, politicians) on different topics (price declines, legislation) but do not disprove that he also made statements about banks and disruption. In the absence of conflicting evidence and the presence of one strong, supportive source, the statement is assessed as likely true with high confidence.
