At the beginning of the year my share in cryptocurrencies <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/tv-star-kevin-oleary-plans-to-allocate-3-of-his-assets-to-bitcoin\">was<\/a> 3%. The goal was to reach 7% by the end of the year. However, due to the rise in value of many assets I currently own, we have nearly reached 10%,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to O\u2019Leary, his portfolio includes not only digital assets but also companies tied to the industry. He stressed that by the end of the year he will have \u201ca very significant stake in crypto assets, and it\u2019s not just Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The investor declined to disclose his holdings but said he owns digital gold, Ethereum and the stablecoin USD Coin (USDC). Despite his commitment to the second-largest cryptocurrency, he also believes in the success of its direct rivals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\">\n<p>\u201cSome people think that Ethereum\u2019s game is already over, but I disagree.

That\u2019s the key,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>O\u2019Leary explained that before choosing a digital asset for investment he analyzes the software underpinning it, as well as the value the project can deliver. According to him, cryptocurrencies carry certain risks, so portfolio diversification is crucial.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\\\">\n<p>\u201cI ask myself, can I identify the best teams?
