Drofa Comms is happy to announce that we’re about to launch a comprehensive 2026 research and benchmarking study — anфd we’re opening the call for crypto exchanges to contribute!

The study is titled “Crypto Exchanges 2026: How Today’s Strategic Bets Are Defining the Next Market Leaders,” and it takes a grounded look at how exchanges are strengthening resilience amid continued volatility and regulatory pressure.

The report will include:

• A full view of what “proof of resilience” looks like for exchanges in 2026

• A map of where the market is converging vs diverging across exchange models and regions

• The key operational trade-offs shaping resilience (disclosure cadence, market integrity controls, cross-border compliance)

• Aggregated, segmented findings designed for fair, like-for-like comparisons

As our CEO, Valentina Drofa, put it: “This report reflects our commitment to documenting what credible exchange resilience looks like in 2026 and to providing an evidence-based view of the capabilities shaping leadership over the next three to five years.”

How to apply?

If you want to apply, just fill out the quick Step 1 intake form with your point of contact and a proposed spokesperson. If your exchange is selected for the next step, we’ll send a short written follow-up (3–4 open questions) to add context.

Note: the submission deadline is February 24, 2026, at 11:59 PM (GMT+0) — so don’t miss the chance to help shape a timely industry narrative!
