According to financial experts at Consensus 2025, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital has predicted that Bitcoin could reach a $500,000 value milestone, making it the newest legal asset class in America. Spot Bitcoin ETFs are breaking down government barriers to financial freedom and opening up wealth opportunities for regular Americans, something the establishment has long attempted to stop, according to the conference.
Bitcoin’s Path to Financial Freedom
Bitcoin’s journey toward mainstream acceptance represents a direct challenge to the government’s monopoly on money. Leading financial experts at CoinDesk’s Consensus 2025 conference agreed that Bitcoin is on the verge of becoming a recognized asset class, with infrastructure and institutional interest already in place.

ETFs: The Game-Changer for Financial Freedom
The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United States has created unprecedented access for everyday Americans to participate in cryptocurrency investments. These financial products have removed the technical barriers that previously prevented many Americans from owning Bitcoin, allowing millions to add this digital asset to their retirement accounts and investment portfolios.
The panelists emphasized that the ETF wrapper has transformed Bitcoin’s institutional adoption. Jonathan Steinberg pointed out that former SEC Chair Gary Gensler inadvertently fostered a robust competitive market for Bitcoin, noting that “There are more bitcoin ETPs than S&P 500 ETFs” in the United States.
Digital Gold: Breaking Government Control
Pasqual St-Jean, another panelist at the conference, compared Bitcoin to “digital gold” during the discussion. His comparison emphasizes Bitcoin’s potential as a store of value and inflation hedge outside government control, offering Americans protection against reckless federal spending and dollar devaluation.
“Three trillion is like a mag 7 stock, 20 trillion is an asset class,” said Anthony Scaramucci, founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital. “So if you tell me that bitcoin can get to $500,000, people will be writing stories that bitcoin is an asset class.”
The panel acknowledged that Bitcoin’s dominance sometimes overshadows the broader cryptocurrency ecosystem. However, this focus has allowed Bitcoin to clear regulatory hurdles more effectively than other digital assets, creating a pathway for future financial innovation that puts Americans back in control of their money.
