#CircleIPO Do you know the difference between centralized exchanges (CEX) and decentralized exchanges (DEX)? Here are the main differences:
**Centralized platforms (such as Binance or Coinbase):**
- Managed by companies (require KYC).
- They hold your funds in their wallets.
- Characterized by high liquidity and execution speed.
- Ideal for beginners due to their support for traditional currencies (fiat).
