Is cryptocurrency dead? As long as cryptocurrencies exist, there will always be platforms to exchange/trade crypto. If you’re referring to start-ups exchanges, they may be facing serious challenges which maybe threatening to their existence. One of the problems the cryptospace is facing is copy and paste and repetition of projects with different names, innovation and creativity is fading out in the space.
Let us compare the older cryptocurrency exchange platforms like (Coinbase, Bitfinex, Bitmex, Kraken, Gemini, Poloniex, Bittrex, Gate.io, and Huobi) to the new ones like (Bitforex, Indodax, Coinbe , Hotbit , DigiFinex). Why are the new crypto exchange platforms struggling to hit the lime light?. Binance is about a year old and has made much impact in the cryptospace, why can’t other cryptocurrency exchange start-ups follow suit?
No, I don't think cryptocurrency is dead neither exchanges. Trading will always remain as long as there are cryptocurrencies, and so exchanges will. I think the reason why many exchanges are struggling now is because the competition is stiff. There are many exchanges now in the market, and people would, of course, stick to those who have already established trustworthiness and reliability in the community. And yeah, another factor is the lack of funds to increase the volume and to maintain the reputation of listing only the best of the best performing coins, and this is where Binance is reputable at. More so, many of the exchanges now sprouted when the market is at its peak nearly going down. Of course, established projects won't dare list their tokens on them. So what these new exchanges usually get are new projects which are highly affected by the hard downturn of the market. That's why they are barely surviving and finding it hard to root out in this industry.
