https://cointelegraph.com/news/2018-mature-crypto-market-will-draw-more-investment-see-less-volatility-analyst-saysObviously as an investor you understand there are risks but out of all the exchanges out there, i can think of 2-3 that I would personally trust with my money and in my case we are only talking about thousands, imagine a big player with millions using etherdelta or some other retarded exchange, no way that will ever happen. Even big exchanges like bittrex, not long ago, they fucked up and made everyone wait months and months to get your account enabled or verified. Why would any big player invest in crypto when the risk is so huge, there is literally zero safety, any exchange can run away with your money and you can barely do anything.
I think the need of the hour currently are the decentralised exchanges which are really dynamic and can cater some high amount of volume and amounts. Basically currently the best DEX we have is IDEX but that too has a very poor trading interface. Regulation can only come with a decentralised platform otherwise these big exchanges will always manipulate the market using bots, whales and make money out of it. Remember whale dumps and pumps are impossible without help of exchanges. These happen because all exchanges care about is their fees.
IDEX works fine, I used it a couple times and it's good, however you can see the downsides, you will never be able to trade for real on IDEX or any other decentralized exchange. Payfair is also trying right now but people just don't seem that interested. For a market that thinks ''decentralization is the best'' they don't seem too interested in decentralization lol.
