The news about KuCoin pleading guilty to operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business left me questioning how much trust we can really place in some exchanges. It is frustrating to think that an exchange so widely used failed to meet basic compliance requirements like anti-money laundering and identity verification.
It is moments like this that reminds me why I am sticking to platforms like Bitget and Binance exchanges that take compliance seriously and work to stay transparent with their users. At least with them, there is a sense of accountability and effort to follow regulations.

The crypto space is already filled with enough uncertainty, so the last thing we need is to worry about the integrity of the exchanges we use.

What is your approach to picking exchanges in light of situations like this?
 
I just recently started using Kucoin. I think it's better to stick with binance. Too much uncertainties

The best approach would always be to stay extra cautious in this space, double check stuffs, look out for track records or plans in place in case of unforseen incident.

It's good you mentioned Bitget because I recently read about their proof of reserves ratio of about 172%, and what stuffs like this does is that you get the assurance that no matter what happens, your assets are safe.

I always make my finding before I drop my funds anywhere and I have found the 2 I mentioned above to meet my criteria
 
Are there really still non-institutional investors using centralized exchanges??

Not your keys, not your coins.
 
Never trust any exchange. Even if you are dealing with a single person, never trust him blindly. Trust and honesty is very rare now.
 
I lost over $500 worth of bitcoin when Hotbit went down, lost 1000s when I lost access to my Yobit account, I purchased lots of Crypto in 2020 during the pandemics and these exchanges cost me. I would recommend you stick with the Legacy ones, like Binance, and Kraken
