Social media giants are laying out super app ecosystems with plans to integrate trading features. This move will directly impact the competitive landscape of traditional exchanges. Once these tech giants officially enter the trading space, the existing exchange ecosystem will face new challenges— their previous monopoly advantages and market moats will be significantly compressed. Facing new players with a massive user base and brand influence, the days of traditional exchanges will indeed become more difficult.

It should be pointed out that this kind of argument exposes a fundamental misunderstanding of Satoshi Nakamoto's original design. Is the original intention of decentralization meant to be exploited by another group of centralized giants? Haha.

Traditional exchanges are really panicking now; the giants are coming in with a blow that reduces dimensions.

Haha, another wave of surfing points. To be honest, how long have these giants been slacking off? They should have taken action long ago. Liquidity depth is the real key; everyone knows that the big pie in terms of user base is clear, only waiting to see who can first smooth out the market-making mindset. The traditional moat of the exchanges? Hmm, that thing was already breached by unlicensed finance long ago. Now you're panicking? That's a bit late, buddy. But on the other hand, the success of integrated trading depends on how efficiently the backend funds are managed; otherwise, it’s just a show of momentum. Arbitrage opportunities are actually in the gaps created by the fragmentation on both sides. The classic big fish eating small fish scenario ultimately comes down to LP returns. Let’s wait and see.

Big companies entering the trading scene will really kill off a bunch of exchanges; the moat and barriers should have been broken long ago.

Hmm... When big companies come in to disrupt, traditional institutions really start to panic. Monopoly can't last too long.
