Without the aid of a crystal ball or a time machine, no one is going to give you a definitive answer on that one.

Personally, as someone who isn't a day-trader, I'd prefer they stay away for as long as possible.

It's been happening since 2017, perhaps earlier. They just tend to do it while you're not looking.

There's no doubt in my mind they are what helped fuel prices during the great bull run of late 2017, however, it is difficult to prove.

There are finance firms doing this already like the JPmorgan, they are probably the first to have recognized cryptocurrencies potential after learning BTC. They'd be at risk of losing if they will be buying these days so they must have done it when the price of BTC dive to $3k.  Or they're are done doing it last 2017 bullrun and right now they are just buying back what they have shorted.

       If a government will approve and accept bitcoin as currency on their country , I think that will happen and there's  volume of bitcoin will be sold like what happened in Venezuela which they purchase thousands of bitcoin to replace their money temporarily .

When "Shalecoin" is solved.

...shalecoins (coins with no holder) and bring them back to the blockchain as usable coins.

Now USA gov is trying to create the right laws for this to happen, if the gov gives green light to big companies then for sure we will see a crazy bump after that happens, the problem now is the taxes, big companies don't want to deal with this kind of problems right now, that's why we need some laws for the coin before seeing big companies joining.

Hedge funds have been in the game for years already, but I assume your talking about major investment banks and things like that. We still don't have regulated, physically settled futures markets yet. I also don't think they want to get in bed with Coinbase or BitGo for custody. Those two things still need to fall into place.

They might be in the game already. we just don't know yet because they always don't want to let the common folks know what they're doing until they secure a good grip on something that would bring them immense profit. But to tell you the truth, only those who are actual institutional investors know who bought how much, and when did they buy their stack. All we can do is just wait on the sidelines and let them do their thing, because that's actually none of our business.
