CEX vs DEX: Which One Is Different?

There are two common ways people trade Crypto.

🏦 CEX — Centralized Exchange

The platform manages many parts of the trading infrastructure.

Examples include account-based trading, order books and custody options.

🔗 DEX — Decentralized Exchange

Trades can happen through blockchain-based smart contracts without the same centralized exchange structure.

Simple idea:

CEX = Convenience

DEX = More direct interaction with blockchain

Neither concept should be understood as automatically “better.”

Always understand the risks before using either.
