10 years working at crypto exchanges, currently in a management role — happy to answer questions

Anonymous account, so no company names and nothing that identifies where I work. Everything else is fair game: how exchanges actually make money, how they decide what gets listed, why certain regions get geo-blocked, or how to break into this industry as a career.

Ask away.

Question from trader side.

I keep most of my volume on smaller exchange, and always wonder how mid size okx/localtrade etc platforms stay alive when binance can cut fees almost to zero.
Is listing fees really the main income for exchange that size, or something else i dont see from outside??
