Centralized Exchange Issues

Definition

Centralized exchange issues refer to problems inherent in cryptocurrency trading platforms operated by a single entity. These platforms, while offering accessibility and liquidity, present risks such as single points of failure, susceptibility to hacks, and opaque operational practices. Users often cede direct control over their digital assets, placing trust in the exchange’s security protocols and solvency. Regulatory scrutiny frequently addresses these concerns, seeking to protect consumer funds and market stability.
