Indian YouTube channel Crypto India tweeted on July 4 that exchange revenue, based on a 0.1% trading fee, is abysmal due to low volume levels. At the lowest volume levels, WazirX, CoinDCX, and Zebpay took in $21,649 per day.

Based on current volumes - Exchanges can only generate trading fee income of $1,000 to $3,000 maximum.
Bitbns still seems to be working well.
