Kevin O’Leary: ’I Want More Regulation, And I Want It Now’

Kevin O’Leary just threw gasoline on the crypto regulation debate—and Wall Street’s watching. The Shark Tank star turned crypto advocate is now demanding immediate government action, flipping the script on his usual free-market rhetoric.

Why the sudden urgency? O’Leary’s betting that clear rules will lure institutional money—and maybe save some hedge funds from their own reckless bets. ’I want more regulation, and I want it now,’ he declared, sounding more like a frustrated SEC chair than a crypto cowboy.

The irony? This comes as crypto markets hit new highs while traditional finance struggles with 20th-century infrastructure. Maybe those ’boring’ compliance rules start looking good when your portfolio’s on the line.
