The cryptocurrency market is witnessing increasing interest in the Sei Network (SEI) project, as the network token approaches a critical area that could determine its direction in the coming weeks. After months of selling pressure, the price is re-testing a strong support area between $0.15 and $0.13, amid technical indicators suggesting the likelihood of a broad bullish breakout.

Binance offers a living example that the worlds of centralization and decentralization don’t have to collide; they can interlock like two gears turning in the same machine. While regulators often view crypto as a threat—an unruly system with no office, no manager, no front door—Binance shows that a large, structured entity can bridge that gap. It keeps the spirit of blockchain alive, yet operates with enough order to be recognized by governments and institutions.
When comparing this to ecosystems like Ethereum ( $ETH ) and Bitcoin Cash ( $BCH ), the contrast becomes even clearer. Ethereum builds its world from a fully decentralized foundation, letting thousands of applications bloom under its self-governed roof. Bitcoin Cash stays loyal to a lean idea: fast, cheap, peer-to-peer electronic cash. Both rely on community-driven consensus rather than centralized authority. No headquarters, no command center—just protocol evolution and collective agreement.
Binance, on the other hand, grows in a different direction. It doesn’t only build one blockchain; it creates a vast terminal where multiple blockchains can dock, trade, and interconnect. The operational needs are heavier, the infrastructure more complex, and the model more centralized. Yet that very centralization makes the ecosystem accessible for millions who don’t want to wrestle with technical details. Binance becomes a home for different chains, a meeting point rather than a single-ideology universe.
Monero ( $XMR ) adds another dimension to this landscape. Unlike Ethereum’s innovation garden, Bitcoin Cash’s efficiency focus, or Binance’s multi-chain hub, Monero commits itself to absolute financial privacy. Its community maintains a strict, uncompromising stance on anonymity, hiding transactional details by design. The project avoids institutional integration, resists regulatory comfort, and keeps mining accessible to maintain genuine distribution. Monero stands as a reminder that some ecosystems prioritize ideological purity over mainstream acceptance, proving that decentralization can be both a technical architecture and a philosophical stance.
Together, these ecosystems offer a broader lesson for the crypto world. Ethereum shows how freedom fuels innovation. Bitcoin Cash proves that simplicity keeps a system efficient. Monero demonstrates how privacy can become the core identity of a network. Binance illustrates how a coordinated structure can host and connect multiple chains while still interacting with governments and institutions.
The larger picture suggests that crypto doesn’t need to choose between absolute decentralization or full central control. The future may belong to hybrid ecosystems—transparent enough to be trusted, flexible enough to innovate, structured enough to integrate with global systems, and varied w to let privacy-focused networks like Monero survive on their own terms.

In the fresh exchange benchmark CoinDesk for November 2025, Binance confidently took first place 🥇 in both spot markets (93.4) and derivatives (93.65), becoming the only exchange with an AA rating in both categories. This is recognition of our high liquidity, reliable security, and strict compliance with requirements.

CZ, the CEO of Binance, has just issued a warning about the risks of price manipulation and liquidity drain when listing tokens on centralized exchanges (CEX). He believes that the current listing process is enabling certain individuals or organizations to take advantage, significantly impacting the market and investors.
The Listing Process and the Phenomenon of Price Manipulation
According to #CZ , Binance announces the listing of tokens 4 hours before they officially trade. During this time, token prices often surge on decentralized exchanges (DEX), followed by heavy sell-offs on CEX once listed. This causes many investors to buy at high prices and incur losses as soon as the token trades on CEX.

In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, how and where you trade matters. Two of the most common types of platforms are Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) and Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) — but what’s the real difference? And which one is best for you?
Let’s break it down.
🏦 What is a CEX (Centralized Exchange)?
A Centralized Exchange is like a traditional financial institution, but for crypto. You sign up, deposit your funds, and the exchange handles the rest. Popular CEXs include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken.

✅ Pros of CEX:
User-friendly interfaceHigh liquidity – easier to buy/sell quicklyCustomer support for issuesOften supports fiat-to-crypto conversions
❌ Cons of CEX:
Custodial – the exchange holds your assetsRisk of hacks or shutdownsOften requires KYC (Know Your Customer) verification

🌐 What is a DEX (Decentralized Exchange)?
A Decentralized Exchange allows you to trade crypto directly from your wallet. There’s no middleman. Examples include Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and dYdX.

✅ Pros of DEX:
You control your funds (non-custodial)Anonymous trading – no KYCSupports a wider range of tokens and altcoinsOperates on smart contracts – trustless and open
❌ Cons of DEX:
May have low liquidity for small tokensNot beginner-friendlyNo centralized support if something goes wrong

🔍 So, Which One Should You Use?

| You want... | Go with... |
| -------------------------- | ---------- |
| Simplicity & fast support | CEX |
| Full control & privacy | DEX |
| High trading volume | CEX |
| Access to new, rare tokens | DEX |

⚠️ Final Thoughts
CEXs and DEXs both have their place in the crypto ecosystem. If you're new, a CEX might be a good place to start. But if you're all about decentralization and self-custody, dive into the DEX world. The key is to educate yourself and never invest blindly.

Out of that, $3.3 billion came from CEXs and $2 billion from bridges.

To put it simply, the root cause of these hacks is centralization. For bridges, this usually involves the collateral that backs wrapped tokens💸. Since early 2023, bridges with wrapped tokens have lost popularity, which is why the number of hacks has also decreased.
So what makes DEXs secure, and what can replace bridges🤔?
Take DEX STON.fi as an example. All trades on it are executed through smart contracts on the blockchain. If the contract is written correctly, it can’t be hacked — unless someone hacks the $TON blockchain itself.
STON.fi is also actively developing cross-chain swaps without bridges or wrapped tokens. Instead, it uses HTLC and RFQ👇.
◾HTLC ensures atomic swaps — either both users receive tokens or neither does.
◾RFQ eliminates slippage by locking in the trade price in advance.
This setup removes all centralized elements from the system. All swaps happen peer-to-peer through smart contracts, giving users strong security and full control📈.
