Whenever a leading exchange takes action, a major platform rushes to launch similar features. This kind of follow-the-leader phenomenon is becoming more and more frequent. Whenever one side introduces a new category or mechanism, the other quickly copies and launches it. Users watching this race may inevitably wonder— is this competitive model healthy? Market concentration is increasing, small platforms are finding it harder to survive, and I really don't know what will happen if this continues. Some say this is healthy competition driving innovation, while others feel it is approaching monopolistic behavior. Anyway, this ecosystem truly needs more diverse voices.

empirically speaking, this is just regulatory arbitrage dressed up as "innovation"—the data suggests market concentration follows a power law distribution, and when you've got 3-4 players controlling 80%+ of volume, there's literally no incentive for actual R&D. it's all feature parity theater at this point tbh

Is copying over and over interesting? Do you really think users are all fools?

Copying over and over, what's the point? Trouble will eventually happen.

lol the entire exchange ecosystem is just copying arbitrage surfaces at this point. one drops a feature, everyone else extracts the same alpha in 48hrs. it's not competition anymore, it's just... rent-seeking on protocol dynamics honestly

It's ridiculous. A new feature is released, and all three platforms go live with it. Is this called innovation? It's just a copy-paste competition.

It's really annoying when top platforms copy each other's work. Small exchanges are being squeezed to death, this isn't competition at all.
