CEX vs DEX 101: Know the Trade-Offs Before You Trade!
#CEXvsDEX101🔥 #TradingTypes101، #CryptoFundamentals
One of the first—and most critical—decisions in your crypto journey is where to trade:
👉 On a Centralized Exchange (CEX)?
👉 Or a Decentralized Exchange (DEX)?
Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and knowing the real trade-offs can help you make smarter, risk-aware choices.
📊 CEX (Centralized Exchange)
✅ Pros:
Easy to use (great UX/UI)
High liquidity = faster trades
Advanced tools & order types
⚠️ Cons:
Custodial = you don’t hold your own assets
KYC required
Vulnerable to hacks, downtime, and regulatory blocks
🌐 DEX (Decentralized Exchange)
✅ Pros:
Full asset control (non-custodial)
No KYC = better privacy
Resistant to censorship
⚠️ Cons:
Often lower liquidity
Can be tricky for beginners
Smart contract risk if not audited
🧠 What to Consider Before Choosing:
🔐 Security: Want to sleep better at night? DEX might be for you.
⚙️ Ease of Use: New to crypto? Start with a CEX.
💧 Liquidity: Need quick fills? CEXs typically win here.
🕹️ Control: Want full autonomy? DEX puts you in the driver’s seat.
