> Exchange services is very difficult to differentiate.
Because financial markets are very globally fragmented. The hardest part about opening an exchange is banking, clearance and KYC/AML. For example the chance that a citizen of say Benin or Uzbekistan could open safely and easily open an account at one of the major crypto exchanges is essentially zero.
There's a lot of parts of the world where there's a captive audience with high demand for crypto trading, but no decent service available. There are pre-existing traditional brokerages and forex shops that have the local banking and KYC/AML infrastructure place, but don't have the tech for the exchange itself.
