Millionaire businessman Kevin O\u2019Leary<\/a> has indicated that stablecoins are more valuable than Bitcoin because of their role in the global financial system. He also highlighted the \u201cbig opportunity\u201d as one of the layer-1 networks could be the biggest beneficiary of traditional finance (TradFi) firms moving on-chain.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kevin O\u2019Leary Praises Stablecoins Over Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

In an X post<\/a>, Kevin O\u2019Leary shared a FOX interview in which he praised stablecoins over Bitcoin. He described BTC as a speculative asset whose price fluctuates due to its volatility. Meanwhile, the businessman called stablecoins an interesting product in financial services, noting that they are valuable because they are backed by U.S. Treasury bills<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

O\u2019Leary further remarked that the \u201cbeauty\u201d of these stablecoins is that one can transfer them in seconds, not days. As such, he explained how these stablecoins top the current payment system, since one\u2019s money can sometimes get lost when using FedWire or banking transfer systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The businessman added that these transfer systems are also very expensive, which is another advantage stablecoins have over them, as one can transfer money for a fraction of the fee using stablecoins. As such, O\u2019Leary suggested that stablecoins, rather than Bitcoin, could have a significant impact in the real world. However, he highlighted BTC\u2019s edge, noting that it is commonly referred to as digital gold<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0It is worth noting that O\u2019Leary is a Bitcoin bull despite his comment about BTC being a speculative asset. Last month, he revealed<\/a> that he had consolidated his crypto holdings into just BTC and Ethereum after years of gaining exposure to other tokens. The businessman explained that he made this move to consolidate into just BTC and ETH after a regulatory shift and institutional analysis forced a reassessment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Big Opportunity For Crypto Networks<\/h2>\n

As part of his interview, Kevin O\u2019Leary also mentioned that there is one big opportunity out there for crypto networks, with forecasts that the S&P 500<\/a> could adopt blockchain technology for contract analysis, inventory management, and logistics. He remarked that he doesn\u2019t know which network will benefit most from this, as nobody knows which blockchain these companies will standardize on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, he noted that the winner among these crypto networks will emerge once at least one company in each of the economy\u2019s 11 sectors chooses to standardize on that blockchain network. It is worth noting that Ethereum appears to be leading Bitcoin and other layer-1 networks in this regard at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ethereum is currently the leader<\/a> in RWA tokenization, with the network holding 67% market share of all tokenized assets. RWA.xyz<\/a> data shows that the network has a total RWA value of $18.6 billion, excluding stablecoins. Institutions have notably chosen Ethereum and other newer layer-1 networks over the Bitcoin network, which is lagging in RWA tokenization.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
