With multiple exchange outages, delistings, and regulatory pressure mounting, many traders are once again asking:
“Should I trust my assets on centralized exchanges — or is it time to self-custody?”
🔐 What’s Happening?
⚠️ Several major exchanges have faced regulatory scrutiny in the past 6 months
⛔ Some projects are being delisted without advance notice
🧾 KYC/AML requirements are tightening globally, impacting privacy-focused users
💸 Meanwhile, self-custody wallets and DeFi usage are rising steadily
📉 Why This Matters
Centralized exchanges (CEXs) still offer:
✅ High liquidity
✅ Easy fiat on/off ramps
✅ User-friendly experience
But the risks — especially counterparty and regulatory risks — can’t be ignored.
🧠 What Traders Need to Consider:
🔐 Do you control your keys?
📊 Are your assets diversified across CEXs and wallets?
⚙️ Are you prepared to switch to DEXs or hybrid platforms if needed?
💬 Your View:
Do you still trust centralized exchanges?
Or are you moving more of your portfolio to self-custody solutions?
