#CEXvsDEX101
When it comes to trading crypto, the first question is: CEX or DEX?
Both have strengths — but they serve different goals. Here's your quick primer:
🔵 CEX (Centralized Exchange)
Examples: Binance, Coinbase, Kraken
User-friendly, high liquidity, fast trades
KYC required, custodial — you're trusting the platform
Ideal for beginners & large-volume traders
🟠 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
Examples: Uniswap, PancakeSwap, dYdX
Non-custodial, wallet-to-wallet trading
More privacy, but often lower liquidity & higher slippage
Great for DeFi users & early access to new tokens
🎯 Choose CEX for speed & security. Choose DEX for freedom & flexibility.
Know your platform. Trade with intention.
