CeFi vs DeFi: Where does Binance fit in?
When we talk about finance today, we often hear about two worlds:
CeFi (Centralized Finance) → exchanges, custodial services, and platforms where a central entity manages funds.
DeFi (Decentralized Finance) → open protocols, smart contracts, and dApps that remove intermediaries.
But what about the bridge between these two worlds? 👇
🔸 Binance Exchange (CeFi) → trusted platform for trading, futures, and lending.
🔸 BNB Chain (DeFi) → home for decentralized apps and smart contracts.
🔸 Binance Web3 Wallet → a self-custody wallet inside the Binance App, powered by MPC.
