You can't draw a distinction between people who dislike an asset and "the market" like that. The market includes everyone, not just a select group of people who hold a specific set of opinions. Also, this focus on the USD exchange rates of specific cryptocurrencies is akin to moving the goalpost right out of the stadium and into, like, a tennis court or something. The shift this article is talking about is not about prices, it's about mainstream institutional support for the asset class. That's not driven by exchange rates, per se, because they're not speculating on it, they're simply enabling their clients to do so. It's more driven by things like whether they believe there's a stable consumer market that can be relied upon to cover their cost of operating in the space and provide some profit as well.
