Some exchange? platforms can receive up to 50 000 inquiries of subscriptions on a daily basis, and that number even reach 250 000 for Binance, one of these exchanges. Subscribers are so numerous that some exchanges like Binance or CEX?.io decided to forbid new subscriptions, until they make the required modifications on the platforms to make it easier to manage all of these users, and to ensure their safety as well.
