If the market keeps dragging on like this this week, everyone might face not just asset shrinkage but also the risk of mid- and small-sized platforms shutting down. According to on-chain data from AiCoin, the market has been fluctuating around $60K this week, and CEX trading volume has hit a yearly low. While whales like BlackRock are accumulating coins against the trend, the overall environment is severely lacking liquidity. With liquidity drying up and tighter regulations, the survival space for mid- and small-sized exchanges is being squeezed to the limit. Especially for platforms with opaque asset reserves and poor compliance, they could collapse at any moment. In previous bear markets, a batch of exchanges always went under toward the end, and this time probably won’t be an exception. Bear markets test not only retail investors but also the lifespan of platforms. It’s recommended to assess your risk exposure recently and concentrate assets on compliant and transparent top-tier platforms as much as possible. For large funds, just move them directly to a cold wallet or hot wallet. The market’s tough—focus on preserving your principal first. Where are your assets mainly stored now, or have you already withdrawn them? #BTC #Crypto #ColdWallet #TradingSafety
