Nailed it guru. #BTC
Event with Bitget Suggested
3 centralized exchanges shut down in a single month. the exchange business model is broken and nobody's talking about why. AscendEX closed July 1. BitMEX announced shutdown July 23. BitMart started winding down July 26. three exchanges gone in less than four weeks. over 30 crypto projects have shut down this year so far. most people are treating this as a bear market thing. "weak exchanges die, market heals, cycle continues." and sure, that's partly true. but it misses the actual structural problem. every one of these exchanges was running the same playbook: build your own matching engine, bootstrap your own liquidity, acquire your own users, maintain your own compliance stack, pay for your own infrastructure. the entire business model depends on a constant flow of new users to pay for all of that overhead. when the flow stops, the business dies. moonrock capital's founder called it a "fatal flaw" and he's right, but the flaw isn't just about user acquisition. it's about the architecture.
