#CEXvsDEX101 usually refers to a basic comparison between CEX (Centralized Exchanges) and DEX (Decentralized Exchanges) — two different types of platforms for cryptocurrency trading.

A CEX is a centralized exchange, operated by a company that acts as an intermediary to facilitate trading between users. Binance (the main platform) is a clear example of a CEX.
✅ Advantages of CEX:
High liquidity and trading volume.
User-friendly interface and customer support.
Advanced features (futures, margin, staking).
