Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary shared an Instagram clip on March 31, 2025, sharing his thoughts on WonderFi and why he owns such a "large" position in it. The reality series judge mentioned that he often faced the question of being a "big believer" in crypto.

He stated that his share in WonderFi was for his "long-term" potential, as regulators, including Canada, will regulate it. He referred to it as the "biggest exchange" and how everyone needs an "exchange" to send-receive-spend crypto currencies.

"Everybody asked me why you have such a large position in WonderFi because I'm a big believer in crypto. The long-term potential is it gets more and more regulated by regulators including in Canada. It's the biggest exchange. So you need an exchange. It's sort of the picks and shovels of a whole crypto industry. Because that's how you get price discovery and get transparency and you get liquidity," said the Shark Tank mentor.

"Why do I have such a large position in @WonderFi? Simple. Crypto's long-term potential is massive, and exchanges are the backbone of the industry.WonderFi is the largest regulated exchange in Canada, providing price discovery, transparency, and liquidity. Whether you're a trader, investor, or even a bank, you need a trusted exchange. That's why I'm in."
