#CEXvsDEX101
---
When diving into crypto, one of the first choices you face is between a centralized exchange (CEX) and a decentralized exchange (DEX). A *CEX* like Binance or Coinbase offers ease of use, high liquidity, and customer support—but you’re trusting a third party to hold your funds. On the other hand, a *DEX* gives you full control over your assets, prioritizing privacy and decentralization. No middlemen, just smart contracts. However, DEXs can be less user-friendly and have lower trading volumes. Knowing the strengths and risks of both helps you choose what suits your style. #CEXvsDEX101 is your guide to making smarter, safer moves in the crypto world.
