To be fair I heard from a few places that you really don't want to do stop losses on crypto exactly because of companies like FTX - since the traders and the exchange are really the same people, it's possible that there isn't a good enough chinese wall between them - when that happens the traders can see your stop losses which is like holding a massive sign saying "Here, take my crypto for cheap".

I hope people read this and really understand what it says. It Crypto had any intrinsic value this paragraph would be ridiculous ... but it's not. At least tulips were pretty to look at.

The only reason big banks doesn't do this openly is because they actually have regulators breathing down their neck so they have to either hide it well or find ways around.

The problem isn't crypto, it's the lack of accountability.

I thought that's what the whole PFOF debate in the US was about? That e.g. Citadel is allegedly using SL and order book information to hunt stops on thin volumes.

Not from the US and I didn't follow it too closely, maybe I got it wrong.
