CEX vs DEX Comparison 2025
Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) like Binance dominate with $14.3 trillion in spot trading volume in 2024, offering high liquidity and user-friendly interfaces. However, they face regulatory scrutiny and custodial risks. Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap, with $4 trillion in 2024 volume, provide non-custodial trading, enhancing security and privacy but often lack on-ramping services. In 2025, DEXs are projected to capture 20% of CEX spot volumes, driven by AI tokens and DeFi growth. CEXs are evolving with on-chain features, but DEXs lead in decentralization. Choose based on your priorities: ease or control.
