Another established crypto exchange is winding down, and honestly, that's not something I'd celebrate. CoinEx announced an orderly cessation after nearly nine years, pointing to the prolonged crypto downturn, shrinking industry trading volume and liquidity, and rising regulatory and compliance costs.
But it does raise a bigger question: does a trading platform need to evolve when the market around it changes? Crypto won't always have high volumes or constant excitement. Stocks, indices, FX and commodities can move under completely different conditions. That's why BingX's move toward a multi-asset platform caught my attention. It doesn't have to mean abandoning crypto; it can mean building around it and adapting to how people actually use markets.
