How does 0.25%→0.12% exchange fee squeeze small exchanges? Will top CR5 rise?Small exchanges lose ~20-30% market share (can’t offset low fees). Top CR5 rises ~5-10%—they use scale (ancillary revenue) to compete. Many small exchanges exit or merge; top exchanges widen advantages via better liquidity.
