Cryptocurrency investors have become more cautious towards centralized crypto exchanges, especially after the collapse of FTX. The exchange facilitated the trading of non-existent cryptocurrencies and had already gone bankrupt when the scam was exposed. As a result, investors turned their attention to the DeFi sector.
