๐ CEX vs DEX: Which One's Right for You? ๐
In crypto, how you trade matters just as much as what you trade.
Hereโs a quick breakdown of the two worlds:
โ๏ธ CEX (Centralized Exchange)
โ
User-friendly & fast
โ
High liquidity
โ
Customer support available
โ Requires KYC
โ Custodial โ You donโt fully control your funds
Popular Examples: Binance, Coinbase, Kraken
๐งฌ DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
โ
Full control of your assets
โ
Privacy-first โ No KYC required
โ
Open and permissionless
โ Slower transactions (depending on network)
โ Lower liquidity & potential slippage on smaller pairs
Popular Examples: Uniswap, PancakeSwap, dYdX
๐ก Quick Take:
๐ฐ Beginners usually start with CEXs for simplicity.
๐ง Advanced users lean toward DEXs for freedom, DeFi access, and self-custody.
๐ Many now use both to balance convenience and control.
