  Rate limiting is crucial for cryptocurrency exchanges because it helps prevent malicious activities such as DDoS attacks and API abuse. By setting limits on the number of requests a user or IP address can make within a certain time frame, exchanges can ensure fair access to their services and protect their infrastructure from being overwhelmed. This helps maintain the stability and reliability of the exchange platform, ensuring a smooth trading experience for users.

  Rate limiting is like having a bouncer at the entrance of a nightclub. It controls the flow of traffic and prevents overcrowding, ensuring that everyone inside can enjoy the party without any issues. Similarly, in cryptocurrency exchanges, rate limiting acts as a safeguard against excessive requests and potential security threats. It helps maintain the overall performance of the exchange and protects it from being exploited by malicious actors.
