Bitcoin price to get a macro boost as BofA says tariff refunds could cool inflation

Millionaire businessman Kevin O’Leary has indicated that stablecoins are more 
valuable than Bitcoin because of their role in the global financial system. He 
also highlighted the “big opportunity” as one of the layer-1 networks could be 
the biggest beneficiary of traditional finance (TradFi) firms moving on-chain. 
Kevin O’Leary Praises Stablecoins Over Bitcoin In an X post, Kevin O’Leary 
shared a FOX interview in which he praised stablecoins over Bitcoin. He 
described BTC as a speculative asset whose price fluctuates due to its 
volatility. Meanwhile, the businessman called stablecoins an interesting 
product in financial services, noting that they are valuable because they are 
backed by U.S. Treasury bills. Related Reading: The Bitcoin Playbook To Know: 
Step 4 Says A Crash Is Coming, But Where’s The Bottom? O’Leary further 
remarked that the “beauty” of these stablecoins is that one can transfer them 
in seconds, not days. As such, he explained how these stablecoins top the 
current payment system, since one’s money can sometimes get lost when using 
FedWire or banking transfer systems. The businessman added that these transfer 
systems are also very expensive, which is another advantage stablecoins have 
over them, as one can transfer money for a fraction of the fee using 
stablecoins. As such, O’Leary suggested that stablecoins, rather than Bitcoin, 
could have a significant impact in the real world. However, he highlighted 
BTC’s edge, noting that it is commonly referred to as digital gold. It is 
worth noting that O’Leary is a Bitcoin bull despite his comment about BTC 
being a speculative asset. Last month, he revealed that he had consolidated 
his crypto holdings into just BTC and Ethereum after years of gaining exposure 
to other tokens. The businessman explained that he made this move to 
consolidate into just BTC and ETH after a regulatory shift and institutional 
analysis forced a reassessment. The Big Opportunity For Crypto Networks As 
part of his interview, Kevin O’Leary also mentioned that there is one big 
opportunity out there for crypto networks, with forecasts that the S&amp;P 500 
could adopt blockchain technology for contract analysis, inventory management, 
and logistics. He remarked that he doesn’t know which network will benefit 
most from this, as nobody knows which blockchain these companies will 
standardize on. Related Reading: Historical Data Shows How Many Days Are Left 
Until Bitcoin Price Hits New ATH Above $120,000 However, he noted that the 
winner among these crypto networks will emerge once at least one company in 
each of the economy&#8217;s 11 sectors chooses to standardize on that blockchain 
network. It is worth noting that Ethereum appears to be leading Bitcoin and 
other layer-1 networks in this regard at the moment. Ethereum is currently the 
leader in RWA tokenization, with the network holding 67% market share of all 
tokenized assets. RWA.xyz data shows that the network has a total RWA value of 
$18.6 billion, excluding stablecoins. Institutions have notably chosen 
Ethereum and other newer layer-1 networks over the Bitcoin network, which is 
lagging in RWA tokenization. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from
