What Are CEXs?
CEXs (Centralized Exchanges) are privately operated cryptocurrency trading platforms that match buyers and sellers, custody user funds, and provide services like fiat on-ramps, order books, and advanced trading features. They’re run by companies that control the infrastructure, enforce KYC/AML rules, and often act as the legal face of trading activity.
Quick Facts
- Custodial: Users deposit funds into exchange-controlled wallets (the exchange holds private keys).
- KYC/AML required: Most CEXs require identity verification for withdrawals, fiat, and higher limits.
- High liquidity & speed: Centralized order matching gives deeper order books and faster fills.
- Wide product set: Spot trading, margin, derivatives, staking, savings accounts, and fiat services.
- Regulatory exposure: CEXs operate under local laws — they can face license requirements, restrictions, or enforcement actions.
- Security tradeoffs: Strong infrastructure and insurance claims exist, but hacks and insolvencies have occurred historically.
CEXs You Should Know
(Examples are illustrative — prominence and policies change over time.)
- Major global platforms — typically offer large liquidity and fiat rails.
- Regional/regulated exchanges — focus on compliance and local fiat support.
- Derivatives-first exchanges — emphasize futures, perpetuals, and leverage products.

Benefits
- Liquidity & low slippage: Easier to execute large trades quickly.
- Fiat on/off ramps: Direct deposits and withdrawals in local currencies.
- User experience: Intuitive UIs, customer support, and integrated tools (charts, APIs).
- Advanced order types: Limit, market, stop-loss, TWAP, margin, and derivatives.
- Convenience: One account for trading, custody, staking, and portfolio tracking.
Final Thoughts
CEXs are indispensable for most traders because of liquidity, speed, and fiat access — but they introduce custodial and counterparty risk. For long-term holdings, consider withdrawing significant balances to self-custody (hardware wallets). Use strong account security (2FA, withdrawal allowlists), prefer exchanges with clear regulatory compliance and audits, diversify across platforms for operational risk, and never treat exchange custody as equivalent to owning your private keys.
