Positives:
Wall Street will bring an insane amount of money into the cryptocurrency market. We are talking well into the hundreds of billions of dollars. This money will provide a significant multiplier effect to the cryptocurrency market. According to Tom Lee, for every billion dollars that flows into the crypto market, it is resulting in 25 billion dollars in price appreciation. When you truly understand this, you can begin to imagine just what kind of impact Wall Street will bring in terms of increased valuations of cryptocurrenices.
Negatives:
Every single negative aspect we see in the stock market as a result of Wall Street’s antics is likely to be repeated in the cryptocurrency market. To some extent we have already seen this with the dramatic price movements in those leveraging their futures contracts. Wall Street isn’t interested in playing by anyone’s rules other than their own, as a consequence Wall Street money doesn’t come cheap. The very system that crypto purists were fighting against is more than likely going to gain control over cryptocurrency as well. The only silver lighting is that Wall Street are late to the party and for once retail investors are the ones that will see the benefit.
