Shark Tank star Kevin O\u2019Leary is unveiling the content of his crypto portfolio, which he says includes<\/span> Bitcoin (BTC) and four altcoins.<\/span><\/p>\n In a new <\/span>interview<\/span> with TraderTV, the billionaire says that he is invested in leading smart contract platforms Ethereum (ETH)<\/a> and <\/span>Solana (SOL)<\/span><\/a>, as well as blockchain scaling solution <\/span>Polygon (MATIC)<\/span><\/a> and peer-to-peer payments network <\/span>Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR)<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think Bitcoin is software. I think Ethereum is software. I think HBAR is software. Polygon is software. I invest in all of it\u2026<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n My largest right now is Ethereum, but I also own a lot of Solana, a lot of Polygon. Polygon guys I met in Dubai, I was so impressed with their whole technology of aggregating transactions on top of Ethereum and then reducing gas fees or costs dramatically. And any time you can add efficiency, you can reduce friction, reduce costs, be more productive, you want to invest in teams that do that so I invested in them as well.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n I look at deal flow right now. Forty-five percent of my day is looking at new deals is in the crypto space. That\u2019s almost half, so I\u2019m going to continue to be very constructive in 2022. I\u2019m very excited about innovation there.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n O\u2019Leary also highlights that he significantly increased his allocation in the crypto space in the last few months.<\/p>\n \u201cI remember talking to you guys at the beginning of last year, and I was saying I was thrilled at my crypto exposure in February and March\u00a0 \u2013 the end of Q1 \u2013 was 3%. Well, through more investment [in 2021] in companies like WonderFi and Immutable Holdings\u2026 my exposure now across crypto, including my work with FTX and with Circle in USDC (USD Coin), I\u2019m past 10%.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As for his crypto prediction for 2022, the celebrity investor says that the regulatory gridlock will continue in the US.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIn 2022, nothing\u2019s going to happen in the US market. I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll even deal with stablecoins. That geography is going to go through a very long process before it institutionalizes crypto.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
