Dexes destroyed the long-tail crypto exchange. Consolidation and shut downs are coming. Regulation is certainly an issue but the truth is Bittrex doesn’t really need to exist anymore. Cross-chain swaps are possible with wrapped assets, atomic swaps, and operations like FixedFloat. End of an era but the market has spoken. Whatever benefits a centralized exchange provides are better with deeper liquidity and larger exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.

I also believe Gemini is on its last legs. The SEC combined with anemic volumes, GUSD went nowhere, Nifty Gateway market collapsed, Gemini Earn is in bankruptcy. Winklevoss will just buy and hold BTC from now on.
