10 CEX That Killed More Projects Than All Hackers Combined

#crypto

Hackers steal money once.  
Centralized exchanges kill projects slowly, methodically, and profitably for years.

In Part 2 of the series we name the real executioners — not by market cap, but by body count.

The real price of listing is not what you think.
Beyond the official fee lies a multi-layered extortion system: forced market making, mandatory marketing packages, affiliated audits, token deposits, and endless “additional obligations”. Fail to keep the illusion alive — and you’re delisted.

The Top Executioners:

Tier 1 (Elite): Binance, Coinbase, Kraken — $500K – $2M+
Tier 2: OKX, Bybit, HTX, Bitfinex — $100K – $500K
Tier 3: KuCoin, Gate.io — $50K – $200K
Tier 4: MEXC — $10K – $50K

These platforms didn’t just list scams — many of them enabled, supported, or directly profited from them. They built a monopoly on access to retail money: “List with us or die unknown.”

Last year alone, these exchanges erased or delisted thousands of projects — far more than all hacks combined.

Meanwhile, one project refused to play this game.

QUASA walked away from centralized exchanges, moved 100% of liquidity to DEXs, and continues building real products: Quasa Connect (mobile app for crypto freelancers) and Quasa Rewards (earn crypto by surfing the web).

No fake volume.  
No extortion.  
Only real utility.

If you want to understand how centralized exchanges have been destroying innovation in crypto while pretending to support it, watch until the end.
