Ahead of Consensus 2025, The Investor and TV Personality Shares His Crypto Portfolio Strategy, WHY HE Won’Tuch Bitcoin Etfs, and What Could Unleash Trillions Into Dig. May 2, 2025, 3:36 pm

As Markets Stabilize and Bitcoin Claws Way Back Above $ 100k, Kevin O’leary – Also Known As “MR. WONDERFUL” Chapter. “I Consider Crypto to Be the 12th Sector of the Economy Within Five Years,” He Told Coindesk in a Wide-Ranging Interview of His Keynote at 1525 in Toronto.

The O’leary Ventures Chairman Outlined his Approach to Crypto, Whoh Is Ground In Traditional Portfolio Construction and A VERY DELIBERATE Plan to Prepare Forstital Capital Capital Into the Industry.

Crypto: A 19% Allocation

O’leary Holds A 19% Weighting in Crypto and Related Equities. That includes Direct Exposure to Crypto and Shares in Major Crypto Exchanges Like Coinbase, Robinhood and Wonderfi. “VALATITY IS Good For An Exchange,“ He Said. “No Matter What Crypto is Doing, Up or Down, The Exchange Is Making Money Because It Infrastructure.”

For Yield, HE FAVORS USDC Over Bank Deposits. “The yield on that this morning is 3.822 .

No to bitcoin etfs, no to microstrategy

Despite Being Long Btc, O’leary Is Not a fan of the etf Wraper. “I Never Understood WHY AnyBody would buy bitcoin in an etf and pay fees. That’s Insane,” He Said. “If I Want Vol On Crypto, Just Buy Bitcoin.” (Bitcoin Etfs Were introduced in the US in January 2024 and have attracted about $ 115 Billion in Investment So Far.)

He Also Optated Out of Strategy, Saying Michael Saylor is “A Great Strategist, No Question. But Wy Don’ ‘I Just Own Bitcoin Outright?”

Regulation is the missing piece

Institute Adoption of Crypto Hinges on Regulation and Compliance, He Said. Large Funds Can’s in Until Their Internal Systems Can Account for Digital Assets the Same Way at Equities or Bonds. “There Are Trillions of Dollars Waiting on the Sidelines. Buty Can’s Regulated and the Compliment Infrastructure Is There.”

That’s WHY HE’S OPTIMICIC About Stablecoin Legislation in The US, WHICH HE Expects to Pass Soon. If that happles, he said, “you want to own the exchanges.”

“The Era of the Crypto Cowboy is Over,“ He Said. “They’re all in jail or felons. What we need now is compliance.”
