A centralized exchange typically works like a forex exchange where cryptocurrency transactions are processed hence facilitating the trading of different cryptos in addition to converting cryptosinto fiat currencies. A centralized exchange provides a flexible interface between the virtual cryptocurrency economy and the real world economy. While centralization was never a concept in the cryptocurrency world, it actually makes things simpler, and that’s why many people still prefer centralized exchanges over decentralized exchanges.
Decentralized exchanges, on the other hand, put the control of crypto holdings and transactions in the hands of the users through peer to peer transactions. It utilizes a blockchain system to match buyers and sellers. Decentralized exchanges, therefore, don’t impose any fees and traders don’t need to provide personal information to third parties.
