Within this partnership, he will launch and curate the UNLOX fund. Partners will raise funds in a number of rounds: the first one is set to secure $250 million.

The new fund will be largely focused on businesses' interest in asset tokenization in the spheres of property, corporate securities and VC initiatives.

Also, UNLOX will support early-stage projects in the sphere of digital collectibles (non-fungible tokens, NFTs).

Algorand (ALGO) is chosen as the technical basis for the collaboration

The partners will leverage Algorand (ALGO) as a platform for their activity. Mr. Scaramucci stresses the technical supremacy of this blockchain as smart contracts hosting:

Algorand is going to be the winner in building the backbone for what institutions need and financial services companies need.

Scaramucci's Skybridge was among the first hedge funds to buy Bitcoin.

Also, he is highly enthusiastic about Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA), as U.Today reported previously.
