Kevin O’Leary is a famous Canadian businessman and entrepreneur. He is one of the stars of the Shark Tank show & known as Mr. Wonderful. Around 3 years back, Kevin criticised digital assets because he lost his money in Bitcoin trading but later he became a Crypto proponent. This Canadian businessman researches the best crypto projects himself to invest money, instead of following any kind of hype or news blindly.
Recently Kevin O’Leary appeared in live streaming with Stansberry Research’s Daniela Cambone. In that appearance, Kevin talked about many things and also shared his thoughts on the crypto sector’s current phase.
On the matter of FTX’s bankruptcy, Kevin said that he didn’t expect any better news about FTX’s recovery but he believes that a good outcome surely came because of that incident. The Canadian businessman noted that FTX’s bankruptcy had stirred the decision-makers in Washington.
Shark Tank star stated:
“The whole narrative at FTX now is about recovery. If there’s one silver lining in this whole FTX thing, it’s the fact that it poked the bear in Washington.”
Kevin also said that he received huge numbers of calls from senators and congresspeople to get opinions & help to introduce new legislation & policies on the digital assets payment platforms.
According to Kevin, in the next 12-14 months we will see a better situation for the Crypto sector because it’s a bipartisan effort.
