Endnote 

There is enough data to believe that government regulatory interventions can affect crypto exchanges. To understand the impact, we can use several parameters like trading volume and trust score. It is important to create a clear regulatory framework for crypto exchanges to operate, but such a framework or any attempt to create such a framework should not stifle the growth of crypto exchanges, particularly should not affect the trust of people in the centralised exchanges.
