Market Suspensions
Standard exchange has a temporary suspension of trading activity on the exchange triggered by certain predefined conditions, such as significant price movements or extreme volatility, aimed at preventing panic selling or disorderly market conditions.
This creates a colossal damage in market, including options or future markets which people leverage on digital assets. To prevent this, traditional finances apply trading halt. This practice is often called as 'circuit breaker'. CEXes often do not implement this as they are not regulated, and it creates a huge damage to users.
