One aspect I think deserves more attention is how exchanges perform during periods of extreme market volatility. Many platforms look similar when markets are stable, but the real difference appears during sudden price crashes, when order execution, withdrawal processing, API reliability, and customer support are under heavy load. It would also be valuable to compare proof-of-reserves, asset custody practices, insurance coverage, and incident response transparency. These operational factors often matter much more than trading fees for anyone planning to use an exchange over the long term.
