Kevin O’Leary says Wall Street’s tokenization boom is all talk without crypto rules

O'Leary noted bitcoin and ether dominate crypto value while smaller tokens decline. Clear federal frameworks could unlock adoption, similar to stablecoins post-GENIUS Act. Infrastructure and energy assets may prove more valuable long-term.
