#CEXvsDEX101
In the world of crypto, there are two types of exchanges: CEX (Centralized) and DEX (Decentralized). What’s the difference and what to choose — let’s figure it out!
🔹 CEX (Centralized Exchange):
— Convenient interface
— High liquidity and transaction speed
— Requires verification (KYC)
— The wallet is not yours — the exchange controls the funds
Examples: Binance, Bybit, OKX
🔸 DEX (Decentralized Exchange):
— Anonymity, no KYC needed
— You store your tokens yourself (non-custodial)
— Lower liquidity and higher fees
— Less convenience, but more control
Examples: Uniswap, PancakeSwap, 1inch
📊 What to choose?
➡️ If comfort and speed are important to you — CEX.
➡️ If you value privacy and decentralization — DEX.
⚠️ And remember: not your keys — not your coins.
