61 exchanges have closed their doors in 2023, totaling 429 close downs since 2014. Most of them "just disappeared": An update on The Exchange Graveyard.

And in 2023 alone, 61 exchanges closed their doors.

This is an update on my regular analysis of exchanges. I've analyzed The Exchange Graveyard data in a previous post, and decided to do another round accounting for recent 2023 data. Here are the results!

183 (~42.65%) exchanges "just vanished" since 2014

This means that no reason whatsoever was given to customers or society as a whole. These "just vanished". The categories and their percentages are:

  • Business reasons: 112
  • Hacked: 17
  • Just disappeared: 183
  • Rebranding: 53
  • Regulatory Reasons: 33
  • Scam: 32

These numbers represent an overall increase of 15.8% since the data was first analyzed.

In 2023, 61 exchanges went down

40 were Centralized Exchanges, 8 Decentralized and and 13 are classified as "others", since the data has also e.g. "Contracts Exchange" in their classification.

TL;DR and advice

Most exchanges that closed down "just disappeared". Also the vast majority of these were centralized.

Use exchanges as exchanges and take control of your keys by having a cold storage. Heck, if you don't have the money to put on a cold storage unit just use a hot wallet of your choice. Make sure we avoid repeating 2013 and 2022.
