SkyBridge Capital's CEO Anthony Scaramucci confirmed in a podcast published this week that his investment firm is launching a private ethereum fund on July 1st and will file for an ether exchange traded fund (ETF) as well, as they branch out from bitcoin. The investor spoke about SkyBridge Capital's crypto expansion plans in an episode of podcast published on Tuesday. "July 1st [...] we're launching a private ether fund, if you will, an ethereum fund. [...] We'll file for an ETF for ethereum, again it's anybody's guess when those things will be going." Scaramucci said. He did not offer any further details about the launch, or the listing.

It's fallen by roughly 50% from record highs in early May, but is still up by almost 900% since this time last year, according to CoinGecko . Scaramucci also said SkyBridge Capital filed for and announced a digital innovation ETF on Tuesday that contains publicly traded assets that support and are linked to ether, bitcoin and other coins.
