Di Iorio told Anthony Pompliano that Polkadot and Cardano have potential and stated that he believes in the best projects. Despite the hype about DeFi, he noted that he keeps his investments simple and invests in larger projects.
Canadian businessman Anthony Di Iorio is a co-founder of the Ethereum smart contract platform, alongside Charles Hoskinson, Gavin Woods, and Vitalik Buterin. In recent days, he said that he believes in the potential of the Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) crypto assets.
Di Iorio is the CEO and founder of Canadian blockchain startup Decentral and cryptocurrency wallet Jaxx. He told cryptocurrency advocate Anthony Pompliano that he has a diversified investment portfolio with projects like Cardano and Polkadot.
Di Iorio Talks to Pompliano About his Cryptocurrency Portfolio
The executive revealed that his current portfolio includes cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ether, Cardano, and Polkadot. He said that he believes in the potential of Polkadot and Cardano as they are among the best projects. Besides, he admitted that he likes Cosmos and other smaller projects.
He stated that, while working with Hoskinson, Woods, and Buterin, he knew that their goals would help drive these projects.
“I was a huge fan of Charles, who took different approaches to doing things. I admired him for the academic aspects of what he did or advanced. I was also a huge fan of Gavin Wood,” said Di Iorio.
“I met these guys during my days at Ethereum, noticing their drive, their competitiveness, and their intelligence. I saw those projects over the last few years and knew that they would go as far as they have,” added the Ethereum co-founder.
Current Price Performance of Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT)
Following a week of turmoil, the cryptocurrency market has held on, trying to balance losses and preparing for its recovery. Bitcoin is currently trading at around USD 37,000 and has generated huge profits. Meanwhile, the other cryptocurrencies have only made small gains.
The last few months have been exciting for Cardano as its network has made great strides. Additionally, its price has risen significantly, recording a growth of +6.0% in the last 24 hours. The cryptocurrency is trading at around USD 1.57 per unit, according to data from CoinGecko.
For its part, Polkadot (DOT) has grown by +5.7% in the last 24 hours, and its price is around USD 22.29.
Di Iorio Says that he Is Not Missing out on DeFi
There has been a lot of hype about DeFi but Di Iorio noted that he keeps his investments simple and invests in larger projects.
“Most of my things are in the top few things, that is Ether, Bitcoin, Cardano, and Polkadot. I also like Cosmos some other crypto assets, but I am not missing out on DeFi. I do not think there is enough time or energy. Running a lot of those things and keeping track of everything is a full-time job. For that reason, I have simplified my life quite a bit in recent years,” said the Ethereum co-founder.
