You are listing the small exchanges. Waves is already on both bittrex and binance and has it's own DEX so you can trade directly with other coins for a minimal fee. Lots of good things coming to waves in 2018 so a good time to hold some
The roadmap looks good but we will see what will be happening with waves platform. The network improvement will be coming as fast as possible. But remember cardano even surpassed a lot of the platform that has been created to compete with ethereum. It looks difficult for waves to compete with another platform just like cardano or eos if the developer can't release something that makes investors interested.
