The success of bitcoin which was the first cryptocurrency paved way for other blockchain projects to create their different coins and token to provide solutions to real life problems in different sectors. Statistics have it that there's currently more than 2000 different cryptocurrencies out there, thus as these different coins serves as currency, there's a need for a platform where they can be exchange and this leads to the emergence of many cryptocurrency exchange.

These terrible experiences can be attributed to many factors such as the centralization of these exchanges that keeps all the activities of the exchange on a central server in which if there's any system failure, the whole exchange will be susceptible to hack attacks.
