Supply and demand

Hi everyone

I am wondering what is your interpretation of how Cryptos like Ethereum, Bitcoin and a Layer two like Loopring behave by supply and demand in contrast to the actual stock market?

Until now I have the feeling the whole crypto space is as much or even more manipulated than the stock market. I really wish there was a way to have a crypto currency which can't be as easily manipultated by big whales. Somehow supply & demand seems to be broken in the stock market, best example is the gamestop stock where they can infinitely create synthetics and short the stock down. Does this apply to cryptos as well?

Does anyone know how they manage to artificially increase the supply and lower the prices? Do they have the same manipulation power than in the classic stock market? Do you know of a project that could actually resolve this issue?

Would love to hear some thoughts from you!
