Introduction:

Growing up, I lived in a house close to a money merchant. You see, we lived in a remote place, where there was no bank, hence, most residents of that area had no bank accounts. There was however, a learned woman that had a bank account, and so, she decided to become a money merchant. Her main responsibilities were to, store other people’s money in her bank account, withdraw people’s money from her bank account, and loan out money. All these were done at the request of interested parties.

Cryptocurrency owners can be likened to the innocent residents of the remote places in my story. You see, crypto owners need a place to exchange their cryptos, hence the rise of cryptocurrency exchanges, which can be likened to the money merchant. The cryptocurrency market keeps growing, since more and more parties are interested in owning cryptos. Infact, early this year, the cryptocurrency market is said to have almost gotten to a trillion-dollar market cap.

The growth of the cryptocurrency is a welcomed development. However, present cryptocurrency exchanges have some issues rocking them, and this in the long run, would inhibit the growth of the cryptocurrency market. Some of these issues are:

Unsafe Exchanges and Security breaches:
One fateful day, a large sum of money was given to the money merchant from my first paragraph. This money was to be deposited in her bank account. However, prior to her taking the money to the bank, she was robbed in her house, and all the money of innocent individuals were taken.

Just like the money merchant was targeted by robbers, cryptocurrency exchanges have always been a target, albeit by hackers. These hackers cause security breaches that enable them to access and make away with digital assets stored in these exchanges. Due to hacking alone, many cryptocurrency exchanges have either closed up, and/or experience losses. Don’t believe me? Do your research.

Scalability Issues:
The money merchant from the preceding paragraphs wasn’t able to keep up with the business, even after she bounced back from the robbery incident. This was due to the fact that, it got to a point where, she had to go to the bank for a numerous number of times daily. Hence, her business wasn’t scalable.

Just like the money merchant, most cryptocurrencies are not scalable. Infact, with the growth of the cryptocurrency market, it is certain that most cryptocurrency exchanges won’t be able to cope. It has happened before, where cryptocurrency exchange temporarily refused to create new accounts for intending users. Check here

Market Manipulation:
Since the money merchant was the only one that went to the bank to withdraw funds for the residents of my area, anything she said was accepted. She sometimes even manipulated monetary figures for her own selfish gain.

Like the money merchant, cryptocurrency exchanges have the habit of manipulating the cryptocurrency market. They employ different market manipulation methods such as spoofing, wash-trading, momentum ignition to pump and dump. If cryptos are to achieve mass adoption, a regulated crypto market is needed, and this market must be free of market manipulation

Lackluster Customer Support:
The money merchant did not have good customer support. If there was a delay in collecting the funds which you asked her to withdraw for you, she wouldn’t even tell you the reason. Her customers were always kept in the dark. This is almost the same, when it comes to cryptocurrency exchanges. These cryptocurrency exchanges have poor customer support, and this is very disheartening.

Poor Market Liquidity:
The cryptocurrency market almost always sees fluctuations in prices. This is what makes market manipulation easier and possible. Infact, most exchanges take advantage of this poor market liquidity to engage in their illicit market manipulations.

Lack of Regulatory Compliance:
Investors (individuals and institutional) are been cautioned by SEC not to participate in cryptocurrency market. Infact, researches shows that the SEC scrutinizes most cryptocurrency projects, be it, exchanges, ICOs etc. All these shows that there should be a regulatory framework, that would act in the interest of all, to protect intending investors.
