How does 0.28%→0.15% exchange fee squeeze small exchanges? Will top CR5 rise?Small exchanges lose ~25-35% market share (can’t offset low fees). Top CR5 rises ~8-12%—they use scale (ancillary revenue) to compete. Many small exchanges exit or merge; top exchanges widen advantages via better liquidity.

How do privacy coin users’ transaction size sensitivity vary by scenario? Is there an anonymity threshold?Daily use: Sensitivity high (prefer <$1k, fast). Large transfers: Low (accept >$5k, slower). Cross-border: Medium ($1k-$5k). Threshold: ~$50k—above this, users choose highest anonymity (slower, higher fees) to avoid traceability.
