The ongoing compliance burden on smaller exchanges.
It feels like the regulatory net continues to widen, particularly around AML and transaction monitoring. For a smaller exchange, keeping up with global standards while trying to innovate and compete against giants like Coinbase is an increasingly heavy lift. Even with $QQQ at 708.76, the operational overhead seems to grow disproportionately for those not already scaled.

I completely agree. It's not just about the initial setup anymore; the continuous updates and audits required are a significant drain on resources. It makes it hard for smaller players to even consider entering the market.
