<p>Clearer regulation contributes to increased demand for <strong>digital assets</strong> among large investors, according to <strong>Kevin O&#8217;Leary</strong>.</p>



<p>Venture capitalist and businessman <strong>Kevin O&#8217;Leary</strong>, in an <a href="https://blockworks.co/kevin-oleary-bitcoin-etf-wont-be-approved-until-at-least-2023/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">interview <strong>with Blockworks</strong></a>, named the main reason why institutional investors are in no hurry to <strong>buy cryptocurrency</strong>. </p>



<p>According to <strong>O&#8217;Leary</strong>, large <strong>investors</strong> are not confident that <strong>digital assets</strong> will meet regulatory requirements.</p>



<p>The infrastructure bill was also a &#8220;lost opportunity,&#8221; according to the entrepreneur, because modifications to exempt producers of hardware wallets, <strong>cryptocurrency </strong>transaction validators, node operators, and other <strong>crypto market</strong> players from tax control were not passed.</p>



<p>According to <strong>O&#8217;Leary</strong>, clearer regulation is helping to increase demand for <strong>cryptocurrency </strong>among institutions.</p>



<p>The businessman believes that the <strong>US Securities and Exchange Commission</strong> (SEC) will not approve the release of <strong>Bitcoin ETF </strong>in 2022. </p>



<p>According to <strong>O&#8217;Leary</strong>, the regulator will be slow to review applications for the issue of a <strong>cryptocurrency</strong>-based exchange-traded fund. </p>



<p>The SEC is currently considering applications from <strong><a href="https://cointopsecret.com/2021/06/29/ark-invest-has-applied-to-create-a-bitcoin-etf-in-the-us/">ARK Invest</a></strong> , <strong><a href="https://cointopsecret.com/2021/05/26/one-river-applies-to-create-the-first-green-bitcoin-etf/">One River</a></strong> , <strong>VanEck </strong>and <strong>Fidelity </strong>.</p>
