  • Both CEX and DEX tokens have found their place within the crypto sphere.

  • Each type of cryptocurrency plays a role in the overall development, progression, and value of its ecosystem.

  • We are going to go over why BNB, CRO, UNI, and CAKE are some of the best CEX and DEX tokens you can get.

There’s a centralized exchange (CEX), and then there’s a decentralized exchange (DEX). 

A centralized exchange typically has its own order book, and each order is recorded and validated. 

CEXs operate under regulatory supervision and have know-your-customer policies built in. 

A decentralized exchange offers core functionalities found in a CEX, such as order books or automated market maker (AMM) models, a trading venue, a matching system, and security functions. 

However, in all DEXs, each function is decentralized. 

This means that it is not based on internal servers and its own IT infrastructure but is a decentralized application (dApp) that operates on top of blockchain technology.

Today, we are going to go over the CEX tokens BNB (BNB) and Cronos (CRO), as well as the DEX tokens Uniswap (UNI) and PancakeSwap (CAKE). Let’s dive in.
