I would answer in a simplified way, and the reason is that such companies are not even created to last too long, but for their owners to get rich and then use all possible loopholes in the law to get out of everything with as little personal damage as possible. The real problem is not that such companies exist, nor that they happen to go bankrupt, but the problem lies in all those who give them their trust (money) in the hope that they will profit from it.

Whoever was looking for an easy profit lost money in a fairly easy way, but it's not that there is anything that can surprise me considering that a lot of people believe (or have believed) that they can profit by investing in stablecoins - there are too many lunatics in the world Roll Eyes

You can't get a unified answer to all your questions, but the risk management of these platforms is the main cause of this mess, as they rely on hot money and more loans to get rapid growth, which means more hot money that will convince customers that things are good.

The reversal of the bitcoin price and the cessation of continuous growth is what made this hot money decrease and thus began the domino effect, which ended with these platforms declaring their bankruptcy.

The aggrieved party is the depositor, as he deposited his money into their hands in exchange for promises of profits, ignoring all the risks that might lead to him losing all his money if these platforms declared bankruptcy.

1) Could the reason be that they have inflated their trading volume , which is now they cannot sustain the real volume at time of dip

Nah, those have already went down long before recent events.

Quote
2) They lack liquidity

3) Exchanges have invested their liquidity somewhere else which is becoming hard to recover

The most likely reason (2 either implies 3, or 1 - and I already ruled out 1).

Quote
4) Does it has to do anything with the global inflation that we might see in coming future

Absolutely not. Nothing serious has even happened yet as far as inflation is concerned. It's mostly due to bad capital management which the other members have highlighted.

Quote
5) Do you think its good for the market where cheap players would be shutting down and people can have more robust platforms in future where they would be ready in situations like this.

History repeats itself, and nobody seems to learn a lesson from events like these, with rare exceptions such as Coinbase and Binance.

Quote
6) Most Importantly its the people's money, will traders be able to cope up or have faith in trading crypto in future if they lose money like this??

If they leave crypto because the wolves of wall street scammed them out of their money, that's their problem. At least the decentralized crypto communities are full of very reasonable people who'd think twice before handling a stranger's money.

What do you think is the real reason for so many exchanges going down.
These platforms make their profits by taking your coins which you deposit and lending them out to other entities, and charging interest on those loans, exactly the same as fiat banks do. What is different from fiat banks, is that there are absolutely no rules or regulations governing what loans they can make, and there is absolutely no insurance either. While the platforms all claimed that they did due diligence, only made safe loans, all the loans were covered in excess by collateral, and so on, it's now becoming clear that absolutely none of that was true, and these platforms loaned out your money to pretty much anyone who asked for it without checking their ability to repay the loan and with little to no collateral in return. When one big loanee collapsed (Three Arrows Capital), there was a massive knock on effect on a bunch of these lending platforms which left them all insolvent.

I've discussed all this at length in my thread here: Recent events should make you withdraw all your coins to your own wallet: Part 2

These ongoing collapse of multiple such platforms does not affect the fundamentals of bitcoin whatsoever. Hopefully, however, it will result in people losing faith in these centralized lending platforms and exchanges and instead choosing to keep their money in the only place it is actually safe - their own wallets.

Bad capital management is cause of all bad things.

With bad capital management, any blackswan event will cause a collapse of that company financially. It can be a hack by bad security. It can be an attack like Terra Luna. It can be massive liquidation calls like Celcius, Three Arrows Capital, Voyager etc.

But if you have bad financial, capital management, your company is always at risk of bankruptcy.

In personal view, for your personal account, if you have bad management, you will be at risk of liquidation or lose all money with one failed or scam exit project.

Just came across a latest news that "Zipmex" is another exchange which have filed for Bankruptcy , after Voyager and others.. What do you think is the real reason for so many exchanges going down.

1) Could the reason be that they have inflated their trading volume , which is now they cannot sustain the real volume at time of dip

2) They lack liquidity

3) Exchanges have invested their liquidity somewhere else which is becoming hard to recover

In summary, any company could go bankrupt, including exchanges, and the reasons are many but do not mean that others in the same line of business are not doing well. This is why traders and investors should be careful and do thorough research before trusting any company with their money.

The reason for the bankruptcy might be due to unplanned business, mismanagement, more liabilities than they can cope with, harsh business environment, lack of funds and loans, and many other reasons. Yet, I don't think this should discourage traders and investors that mean business as they can always go for the best alternatives.
