From the perspective of top-tier investment institutions, founders of crypto companies are now facing a critical strategic decision. Experienced investors say that many teams are always trying to replicate the success model of trading platforms, but this path has long been overcrowded. Instead of following the trend and building exchanges, it's better to focus on refining core products, which is the right approach to establish a foothold in the market.

Another trend that cannot be ignored is the rapid iteration of the regulatory environment. The head of the policy team pointed out that developers should really take regulatory compliance seriously. The Trump administration is currently pushing forward with legislation related to the structure of the crypto market. Once these policies are implemented, the entire market will see higher transparency standards and clearer rules of the game. In the long run, teams that adapt to these changes early will gain a competitive advantage.

It's the same old story again—there are indeed many exchanges, but how many can truly survive?

It's the same old story... Someone should have spoken out long ago. Watching a bunch of copycat exchanges day after day while still in a daze. Regret only after regulators come? You should have already put it aside and waited for policies. Now those who enter now are the ones making a profit.

Here we go again, "Refining the core product is the key"... Data shows that in the last round of projects that said this, less than 12% are still active today. Ironically, most of them still rely on trading fees to survive.

Here we go again with this set. Who still really goes to operate an exchange now? That's an old trick from two years ago. Compliance is indeed something that must be taken seriously; otherwise, once policies are implemented, you'll be the one scrambling. They talk about refining products every day, but how many teams can truly stay patient... Is regulation actually an opportunity? I need to think about this logic. Still, the same advice applies: focus on doing your own thing and don't follow the trend.

It's the same old story again, refining the product vs rapid replication. How many times have we discussed this? Regarding regulation, it's true that teams that don't adapt in advance will eventually be eliminated. These days, compliance is the moat.

Another old tune again, making a profitless exchange and still being lectured, it's really ridiculous.

That's right, it's definitely time to wake up if you're still copying the exchange model. The track has been saturated for a long time, do you still want to rely on old tricks? Compliance really can't be delayed any longer; it's inevitable sooner or later. It's already 2024, and some still dream of getting rich overnight. Making good products is the real king. With this wave of regulation coming, those who can swim will survive; those who can't will be swept away. The exchange model is already everywhere; it's time to refine some distinctive features. Getting ahead of regulatory benefits early—that's true wisdom. The era of running an exchange is over; now it's all about whose product is solid.
