#CEXvsDEX101 If you’re getting into crypto, you’ve probably heard of CEXs and DEXs. Both let you trade, but they work very differently.

CEX stands for Centralized Exchange. Think Binance, Coinbase, Kraken. You sign up, deposit funds, and trade through their platform. It's user-friendly, fast, and often regulated—but you're trusting a company to hold your assets.

DEX means Decentralized Exchange. Like Uniswap or PancakeSwap. No sign-up. You trade directly from your wallet. More control, more privacy—but also more responsibility.

CEX is convenient. DEX is freedom.

Know the difference. Use what fits your needs.
