Renowned investor Kevin O’Leary expressed his belief on Wednesday that owning only Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) can capture the majority of the cryptocurrency market’s volatility and yield.

O’Leary took to X, sharing a clip from his recent interview with Al Arabiya English, in which he said that instead of chasing the hordes of “irrelevant” tokens in the market, one should focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum to “capture the promise” of cryptocurrency.

Trending: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — and you can too at just $2.90/share.

“You could own Bitcoin and Ethereum, and you would capture more than 90% of the alpha or price volatility of the entire crypto market,” O'Leary, also known as "Mr Wonderful," stated.

He further noted that as Wall Street moves on-chain, through the adoption of tokenized securities, digital payment systems, and stablecoins, the best way to gain exposure to these developments is by owning ETH, something he described as the “number one blockchain product.”

“One is basically digital gold, if you want to call that Bitcoin, and the other is Wall Street going on chain, which is Ethereum,” O’Leary said.

O'Leary has been one of the most vocal advocates of cryptocurrency. He previously revealed investments in companies such as Circle Internet Group Inc. (NYSE:CRL), cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) and tokenized stock provider Robinhood Markets Inc. (NASDAQ:HOOD) to bet on the infrastructure side of cryptocurrency.

He said last month that the younger generation, specifically the GenZs, are investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum alongside traditional stocks, a chance he did not get early in his investment journey.
