Companies own a lot of crypto: positive or negative impact for crypto market?

[TERMINO]

Valuable and dangerous. They can pump the token also can dump if they choose to control as they hold a lot of token percentage. I wish they don't become greedy to look just for themselves to gain as much as they can. They can actually help small holders to have profit if they will pump the price.

I think in the long term, it would be a negative impact, cos whale effects can crash prices and cause a mini-bear market

In many parts of the world, the momentum is just starting as big funds, institutes and organizations are now finally entering crypto after long due diligence and also regulatory approval so generally im super bullish for coming months.

Isn't it if more people buy Crypto both from companies and other institutions get better? I know the risk is if they can easily play market prices. But at least if they don't cause fud as what is going on with Elon Musk so far in the crypto market.

Usually, campaigns are more balanced and judicious about price jumps in the cryptocurrency market than individuals, and therefore you should expect less panic from them. However, they also buy cryptocurrency for profit and can also quickly dump it if it is logical and necessary to maintain their profit. In addition, large campaigns are better able to defend their rights compared to ordinary citizens, and in this case they will defend the cryptocurrency. Therefore, I consider it positive that more and more campaigns are buying cryptocurrency lately.

Of course there are positive and negative impacts in terms of profitable sales, but don't sell all assets, it will have an impact in the future

It is positive and negative at the same time from my point of view. I think it really depends on the amounts and the crypto, which is usually Bitcoin. Large companies can be a great ally for the market by keeping large amounts unsold, but they can also be the worst enemy if at a certain moment the market shoots up in a way never seen before, since they could sell part of their holdings and damage the whole market.

Yes, they can act like a whale and that is not good for the market now they are slowly-slowly buying the dips and accumulating the large no of bitcoin so bitcoin is slowly going into the hand of big players and they can manipulate the market through their big stake in the market. I believe small investors can make the market much much better rather than big players.

Bullrun 2021 is very different from bullrun 2017, when there are not only retail investors, but also large companies, financial investment funds, and in my opinion even governments. We see Grayscale & MicroStrategy collecting Bitcoin & Altcoins, and we believe this bodes well for the whole market.

That is true, but only in the short term. I see big future risks coming from such institutional investors:
+They are investors, which means they store crypto and then sell crypto for profit: Right now they are buying, the market will get a positive impact, but when they sell , things are going to be worse than what we've been through in the last 5 weeks;

+These companies are quite capable of becoming new whales, with more financial capacity than private whales. Manipulation can be more serious when these companies band together in a large global campaign.

What do you think about the impact of large companies and large investment funds participation? Is their participation really valuable to crypto market? What is more necessary for crypto: They or regulatory frameworks?

I think companies own alot of crypto will have  good impact If they will have bad strategy for market.
I think They can make market go down.
But It's just my prediction.

[Jaephoenix]

That's  a new development and its evident now there is a burgeoning mainstream adoption of crypto. These institutional investors can make or wreak a project. Reason why there is an anti-whale code on smart contracts

Big companies like Tesla, it will be in my consideration if the company plans to buy more coins for the long term, as we know, after Elon Musk spread FUD, with information Tesla no longer accepts Bitcoin for payment due to energy reasons that Bitcoin uses for mining is energy from fossils so it has had an impact on price declines and the level of confidence of new investors at that time, now retail and institutional investors already have a lot of experience, they will not sell coins at low prices, because they believe, long term profits is in the future
