#CEXvsDEX101

Binance offers both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) trading options. The Binance CEX is one of the world’s largest, offering high liquidity, fast execution, a wide range of assets, and features like futures, staking, and margin trading. It requires user verification (KYC) and custody of user funds. In contrast, the Binance DEX, built on the BNB Chain, allows users to trade directly from their wallets using smart contracts. It emphasizes decentralization, privacy, and control but has less liquidity and fewer trading pairs. While the CEX suits most traders due to ease of use, the DEX appeals to those valuing autonomy.
