Trading platforms are growing but what about investors ?

[btc_angela]

Does anyone has ever thought about this one? We see that there are huge number of exchangers that are being formed every other month. Most of their ICO's are even starting up with the MVP as it has become easy stuff to code an exchanger over dex and get started with it. Who think that this will be good only if the investors also keeps rising day by day ? I mean if the investors doesnt increase in the number then how can one see use of huge marketplace anyway ? I mean its like there will be big playgrounds but too less players to play!! This will be very costly affair sooner or later.

I do feel that its not worthy if investors are not rising as well !!

I beg to disagree. Exchanges are coming in the last couple of years to cater the huge influx of traders and I'm sure that traders will multiple overtime. You can also say that they're not growing because we are in the bear market. You also have to look at the economic effects, if we are in the bulls there are more traders and when we are in the bears, obviously less traders but it doesn't mean its still not profitable for exchanges. So it won't be costly whatsoever, in the long run they're still going to make a lot of money.

Where did you get the data that investors are not rising? Anyways, its a gamble for exchanges but in the long run they are going to win. Besides competition are very tough in this niche, so its just a matter of time before trading platform cease to exist.

How many exchanges do we have right now? 200 or maybe 300? And how many traders do we have? couple of millions? So trading platform is not saturated and a lot of room to grow.

It's a new kind of business that's why many people would like to take this opportunity to form a business in this kind of industry. Some exchanges have very low volume and we can see some exchanges that are taking the attention of millions of people. It's a competition for them to convince people that they should trade in their exchange so they should focus more on having a quality service along with a competitive fee so that they will be considered. It's a good thing for traders to have a lot of options.

Perhaps the number of investors is increasing gradually without we realizing it. Every month coinbase announces that thousands of new accounts have been created.

The number of investors is definitely increasing. It is impossible to put a number on it, but all the big exchanges are expanding, opening offices in new locations, hiring more staff, etc.

Binance had 2 million registered accounts back in January of this year. By June of this year, they were reporting 9 million accounts. By now, it will no doubt be a couple of million higher than that. In the last 6 months, Coinbase have registered 5 million new users, bringing their total up to 25 million. The graph on that tweet is particularly revealing as to the exponential growth rate they are experiencing.

Now obviously registered accounts does not equal active users, as many accounts will be inactive and many users have an account on multiple exchanges, but the growth is undeniable.

Real investors aren't using Exchanges to invest. They use a bank/company/services to invest via. GrayScale is one of the companies that invest behind their clients (institutions, funds management, etc) It has actually 7 or 8 cryptos in their investments (Bitcoin, Ripple, Horizen, Bcash...)
Neither they will use a DEX, because everything is out of its legal banking jurisdiction it has to abide

Trading platforms are very much important in this industry and if the markets are growing with the alarming rate then it is not problem but blessing for it. Investors will get attention towards them automatically and everyone also has their own choice of platform. They keep changing all the time and go on trying different platforms as they come out. Also, with the platforms there comes new opportunities for the different coins as well. I mean they get more and more exposure with this and connects the world of investors and projects.

There's no solid problem to the huge growth of exchanges to cryptocurrency as it will create more opportunities and competition among them all thus we will be going to have tons of option for listing and trading proper research is a must to avoid problems with fees and services with different exchanges, however, we don't have the exact number of investors and traders that was active to crypto so we can't conclude that there are less.

[wantjokull]

I guess its perfect that we are having so many trading platform. This gives huge trading volume for us to trade and thus we will never end up at situation where the crypto currencies can not be left in the buy and sell order for longer period of time. With the number of trading platforms investors are actually increasing as well because more platforms means big backbone for the crypto industry. More platforms, more money flowing in and out means happy investors really.

The queston you ask does make sense and I have been asking myself the exact question before I finally realized that the investors rate will definitely grow because some of the exchanges and trading platforms are offering/adding a unique system to there protocol, some also evangelize crypto to some part where adopters are few and with the help of crypto debit and credit issue this days more investors will hop in.

Yes, I also think the same thing, but in my opinion it will be difficult for a new exchange to develop, because usually they make exchanges because they have newly released tokens from an ICO as stated by the OP and in the end they don't have many visitors there because lack of investors coming. I received a token several times and their exchanges were very new and there was not much activity in it, plus it was very slow they added a lot of coins in it to trade.

I think your opinion is also a problem that many investors care about. If the real market cryptocurrency in the moment can not attract more new investors. Venture capital funds are really difficult for the development of startups as well as the entire market. The massive development of decentralized decks, without much improvement, can not bring a new breath of change to the minds of professional investors.!!

I really think that the most useless ICOs are those that create new exchanges. We already have too many of them with various ups and downs, creating more doesn't help people to get more engaged with cryptos. I also think that the exchanges should not be the primary way to using cryptos. They should be convenient places where people sell one crypto and buy another to pay for some goods and services afterwards. Doing nothing but trading is contributing to speculation and making the price depend on traders, not on real crypto users.

More crypto exchange is good for crypto market because with high competition they will provide better service and better quality product for trader and investor. To increase number of trader in their platform they will also promote it to another new people so indirect they also will promote crypto and block chain technology. By more company promote the crypto, in the future crypto will be boom market.

I also noticed that more and more exchange are being created every month or even weeks and we don't know the credibility of the owner and developer and how secure this exchanges are. But in my own safety I only trade on credible exchanges and have proven good track record even it has higher trading fee as long as my funds are secure it would be fine to me.

Yeah, probably a good indication as well that investors are swelling without us knowing the real statistics behind. And there are probably hundreds of investors going through hedge fund managers to purchased and invest bitcoin on their behalf.

Many of these new exchanges will become zombie platforms and will end up closing doors in coming months. Although the number of exchanges users increases significantly, new users will go to populated platforms where they can find more coins and volume.

They can be dead if they don't give us the services traders wanted, (low fee, good customer service, better platform, etc). This is business is very tough, is a dog eat dog world.

New exchanges mean competition which in turn means less fees and better services. But it will not mean more investment or institutional investment since there is absolutely no control or regulation. All trading platforms are subject to hacking and nobody can guarantee they wont decide to run with your money over night so investors remain sceptical.   

This is what I'm trying to say, exchanges need to be in top form otherwise they will lose traders if they perform badly. Specially security, everyone is really going on a exchange which is secure and has history  of 0 hacks or at least was able to nuetralized those attempts and very transparent to their customers.

There are plenty of traders but there has been no new money coming in this year. On the contrary the CMC is 4 times smaller than what it was in DEC last year so for now investment is low. It is the same people trading and investing, buying and selling and until we see the CMC at least double I do not see any bull run right now. Just many exchanges popping up with inflated volumes and wash trading with the use of bots.

The fact that bots are killing the price since they dump the price too much. While people are just trading what they already have and afraid to buy more as they just keep on losing.
Maybe we just didn't notice that investors are growing since platforms are popping in the market and we can assume that 1 investor is equivalent to 3 platforms, 1:3. This small percentage is haven't notice and the percentage of trading sites aren't enough to conclude that investors aren't growing.

[ice18]

I think we dont need too many exchanges what we need is an exchange with low listing fee and high volume it can be centralised or decentralised and with no bots this are the one who manipulates the trading the use of hundreds of bots wich operates every seconds 24/7 the trading fee should also affordable and not too high.

Investors go with their risk vs reward, they wont determine what is good for the project. If there are people who are willing to join at a premium and then sell at profit just to make money then the conditions wont improve. But the real scenario is somewhat similar to this. People are interested in the profit and not so interested in the future aspects because they see the risk as higher than reward.

Venture capital funds are really difficult for the development of startups as well as the entire market.

VCs are like the mafia. You would not want to get help from them unless its a dire necessity. Look a the huge scam that Envion's co-owner did, and he was a VC.

The massive development of decentralized decks, without much improvement, can not bring a new breath of change to the minds of professional investors.!!

It might be possible in future but in the current speculative bubble not many people are willing to take the risk.

I believe most people just tend to assume things in their head because of the bear market and just simply state that because the market is not growing, investors are out. But, system is most important for attracting the new investors. When more platforms are availble with enhanced features then we can expect more people start investing. Yes, we may see a lot of people hedging in fiat at the moment, but that does not mean, we still do not get to see the rate at which the market adoption has increased over the years and still increasing hugely as time goes on.

One thing with life is that you see exactly what you want to see, and since during a bear market, what most people see is negative, they just pretty much imagine that investors are no longer increasing in the market, and I believe that is one thing time will tell and we will get to see how the increase in exchanges will even be of help when we get to see huge boom in this market.
