#CEXvsDEX101
CEX vs.Custody: When you use a centralized exchange, the platform holds your keys and controls your funds. On a DEX, you hold your keys and trade directly from your own wallet. There is no middleman. Regulation and KYC: CEXs are built to comply with financial regulations.Apr 9, 2025
For active traders dealing with large volumes, a CEX may be more practical due to higher liquidity and minimal slippage. If you're trading niche tokens or experimenting with DeFi, a DEX may offer more flexibility.
