Summary

Crypto has had a volatile start to 2026. After reaching an all-time high above $120,000 in late 2025, Bitcoin has pulled back significantly and is now trading in the mid-$60,000 range — a drawdown of roughly 40–50% — amid macro uncertainty and shifting institutional sentiment. But Anthony Scaramucci, founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital, isn’t backing down. In this episode, Scaramucci explains why he became an early believer in crypto, what drew him to the asset class before it went mainstream, and why short-term volatility hasn’t changed his long-term view. He shares how he thinks about crypto as an emerging technology — and why periods like this are part of the cycle. Scaramucci also discusses the role of regulation in shaping crypto’s future, and how it could influence broader adoption within modern finance.

Money and Emotions - Audio The Open University How do emotions affect financial decisions? Is their impact always bad, or are emotions an important part of making good financial decisions? Can a better understanding of emotion help us avert future financial crises? These are some of the questions being asked by the xDelia project: a European Commission funded research programme being conducted by The Open University and other partners. The project is using leading edge physiological sensors and computer game technologies to explore the impact of emotions on financial decision-making and to develop new approaches to learning, which can support effective choices. In this podcast Professor Mark Fenton-O'Creevy of The Open University Business School looks at the work of this research programme and explores the ways in which emotions affect how we all (from investment bankers to the wider public) think and decide about money.xDelia is funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme.
