God I hope exchanges don’t use floating point math for anything, that’s literally dealing with money 101. If you can’t even manage to do that how can you be trusted with storing value? This is why God (and I use that term VERY loosely) gave us arbitrary precision arithmetic libraries. Kidding aside anyone who proposes using floats to track money is getting fired.
