Scaramucci has expressed interest in repurchasing FTX's stake in SkyBridge, as well as <a href="https://www.theblock.co/post/227697/scaramucci-ftx-skybridge">skepticism regarding the possibility of an FTX reboot later this year</a>.</p> <p><em>During this episode, Chaparro, Murray and Scaramucci also discuss:</em></p> <ul> <li>Regulation outside the U.S.</li> <li>Crypto's bipartisan support</li> <li>The global decline of the U.S. dollar</li> </ul> <hr /> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b>This episode is brought to you by our sponsors <i><a href="http://circle.com/Scoop">Circle</a> and <a href="https://www.cleanspark.com/theblock/">CleanSpark</a>.</i></b><strong><br /> </strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>About Circle</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><em>Circle is a global financial technology company helping money move at internet speed.
