ABOUT
Kevin O'Leary, chairman of O'Leary Ventures, joins CoinDesk Live at Consensus 2026 in Miami wearing a one-of-a-kind Tiffany necklace built around a $12.93M Kobe-Jordan card he says is outperforming his crypto, S&P, and private equity returns. Plus, why he cut his crypto positions from 27 to 3, his energy land deals in Alberta and Utah, and why "nobody cares" about most crypto chains.
