Centralized Exchange or DEX? This question is quite meaningless. The real answer is actually very straightforward: which one to choose depends on two core points – who do you trust, and what do you want.

What advantages does a Centralized Exchange have? Fast speed, smooth experience, deep liquidity, zero difficulty for beginners. The drawbacks are also obvious: your assets are entrusted to the platform, and the risk is concentrated on the exchange.

What about DEX? On the contrary. Assets are always in your own wallet, no one can freeze them, no one can restrict them. But what is the cost? Slow transactions, high fees, large slippage, not very friendly for beginners.

Ultimately, centralized exchanges are suitable for those who value convenience and liquidity—traders who trade frequently and seek a good experience. Decentralized exchanges are suitable for those who would rather go through the hassle to maintain control over their assets—players with strong self-management awareness and long-term holdings.

There is no absolute good or bad, only what is suitable or not.
