Kevin O’Leary Sees Trillion-Dollar Opportunity in Bitcoin
Kevin O’Leary talked about bitcoin and cryptocurrency in an interview on CNBC’s Capital Connection, published Monday.
“I’m bullish on crypto,” O’Leary began, adding that he is also bullish on decentralized finance (defi). Citing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) empurrando back against Coinbase’s Lend product, he said: “That’s a slowdown in what is really emerging as a very interesting space.” Mr. Wonderful emphasized:
We want the regulator to actually make some decisions about crypto, because none of us that are in financial services want to actually be cowboys about this. I don’t want to get involved in crypto if the regulator says it’s not okay.
"Non podo permitirme estar fóra de xogo. Non me podo permitir o luxo de incumprir”, continuou.
Referíndose a bitcoin in particular, the Shark Tank star said: “If the regulator finally allowed financial services companies to call it an asset, put it into an ETF [exchange-traded fund] in the United States, like they have in Canada and other countries, I’d figure there’d be another trillion dollars worth of buying into bitcoin. And we don’t have that yet, but that’s the opportunity.”
Mr. Wonderful elaborou:
I think at the end of the day, over the next couple of years, that will happen. That’s why there’s so much interest.
Na actualidade BTC price, the bitcoin market capitalization is $850.20 billion, based on data from BitcoinMercados .com.
O’Leary added that all institutional investors want to know “when and how” the regulators will get on side of crypto and when they will consider cryptocurrencies an “institutional asset class.” He noted: “We don’t know when, but it is definitely going to come. It’s not going away.”
Mr. Wonderful also revealed his intention to increase his crypto holdings, stating:
I want to raise my exposure to crypto — currently at 3% — to 7% by the end of the year.
