Exchanges have a fundamental responsibility here - they should be protecting traders, not turning them into cannon fodder.

The question worth asking: who's actually stepping up to change this broken dynamic?

Real talk - in crypto trading, user protection somehow became an afterthought. Most platforms seem to view risk management as someone else's problem, when it should be their primary asset. The current landscape treats trader safety like it's negotiable, when leverage trading especially demands serious safeguards.

A healthy exchange model flips this entirely. Transparent risk controls, proper position limits, genuine slippage protection - these aren't nice-to-haves. They're foundational. Yet this remains rare in the space. The gap between what traders need and what they actually get keeps widening. Until platforms compete on safety the way they do on fees and volume, this stays broken.
