**#CEXvsDEX101 Your Guide to Understanding Trading Platforms! 🏦🆚🌐**
What is the difference between **Centralized Exchanges (CEX)** and **Decentralized Exchanges (DEX)**? A Simplified Guide:
### ❶ **Centralized Exchanges (#CEX) like #Binance**
- **Features**:
→ High speed and support for fiat currencies (💵).
→ User-friendly interface for beginners and diverse trading pairs.
→ Additional services (staking, loans, savings account).
- **Disadvantages**:
→ Storing your funds with a third party (the custodian).
→ Requires KYC (identity verification).
### ❷ **Decentralized Exchanges (#DEX) like #PancakeSwap**
- **Features**:
→ Full control over your funds (no custodian).
→ No identity required (higher privacy).
→ Direct trading between users (Peer-to-Peer).
- **Disadvantages**:
→ Difficult for beginners (mistake = irreversible loss!).
→ Variable network fees (#gas) that may increase.
### 🛡️ **Security Tip**:
- Use **CEX** for buying with fiat and quick trading.
