Centralized and Decentralized Exchanges
https://research.binance.com/static/pdf/Centralized_and_Decentralized_Exchanges_Comparison.pdf"There are benefits and drawbacks to both - centralized and decentralized exchanges. At the
end of the day, there is a need and use case for both, and we welcome the recent innovation
in the space. Decentralized exchanges have become a lot more efficient and user-friendly,
while centralized exchanges have improved in terms of KYC and security.
Looking at centralized exchanges, it is important that the industry becomes much more
transparent, in particular so the markets understand the levels of crypto held in custody are
higher than what the exchange owes to its clients. Furthermore, we should continue to
support regulators around the world by engaging and sharing knowledge and expertise.
Going forward, we expect increased adoption of decentralized exchanges and hope to see
further innovation in the space. That being said, centralized exchanges are crucial building
blocks of the current crypto infrastructure and are likely to stay."
