Could you elaborate on the rationale behind crypto exchanges automatically generating new addresses? It seems like a somewhat unconventional practice in the realm of finance. Does this have to do with security measures, privacy concerns, or is it a way to optimize transaction efficiency? How does this process work in practice? Does it mean that users lose access to their old addresses, or are they still able to utilize them? Clarifying these aspects would help me understand the motivation and implications of this approach in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

By providing a new address for each transaction, exchanges ensure that past transactions cannot be traced or linked back to the user.
