DOSS attacks can be overcome with a solid infrastructure like Cloudflare (expensive but possible) and also with the help of modern browser capabilities such as webRTC and offline cache.
Services like cloudflare do nothing for API's, which is the core part of any exchange system. Browser technologies have nothing to do with building out secure, distributed trading systems.
You're mistaken about that. APIs cannot benefit from something like CloudFlare. You need the connection to be live to the backend at all times, which isn't how proxy caches work. They take over serving content when the load is high.
