#CEXvsDEX101 The world of cryptocurrencies has two main types of exchanges – centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX). Let's break down how they differ 👇
🏦 CEX (Centralized Exchange)
Example: Binance, Bybit, OKX
✔️ Convenient for beginners
✔️ High liquidity
✔️ Customer support
❗️ User does not control private keys
❗️ Risk of account freezing
🌐 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
Example: Uniswap, PancakeSwap, 1inch
✔️ Full control over funds
✔️ Anonymity (no registration required)
✔️ No one can freeze your account
❗️ May have less liquidity
❗️ More complex for beginners
💡 The main difference:
On CEX, you trust your funds to the exchange.
On DEX, you are your own bank.
