Shark or whale, Kevin O’Leary is both
- Celebrity investor Kevin O’Leary said he wants to more than double his cryptocurrency holdings by year end.
- Speaking with CNBC, the popular Shark Tank investor said he previously thought bitcoin was “garbage” but has since changed his mind and aims to take his cryptocurrency holdings from 3% of his portfolio to 7%.
- O’Leary forecasts a prosperous future for cryptocurrency, and said “trillions of dollars of interest [is] waiting to come on board” when more regulators approve cryptocurrencies as an asset class, which he says is inevitable.
- “This is not going away, this is the new asset class,” O’Leary said.
