In today's news:

What is the difference between Centralization and Decentralization?

Centralized Crypto Exchanges:(CEX) are managed by one organization. Centralized exchanges make it easy to get started with cryptocurrency trading by allowing users to convert their fiat currency, like dollars, directly into crypto. Some examples of  Centralized exchanges include Coinbase, Binance.US,  Crypto.com, Krakken, Gemini, and Uphold.

Decentralized Exchanges: (DEX) Type of cryptocurrency exchange which allows for direct peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions to take place online securely and without the need for an intermediary. Some examples of a DEX include Uniswap, Pancake Swap, Sushi Swap, Kucoin, Tradeogre, and Bitrue

Decentralized Soft Wallets: Cryptocurrency software wallets enable crypto holders to securely store their digital currencies and tokens in one place. Metamask, Safepal, Trust
Wallet, Atomic Wallet and Exodus.

What is DEFI? 

In the U.S., the Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) define the rules for centralized financial institutions like banks and brokerages, which consumers rely on to access capital and financial services directly. DeFi challenges this centralized financial system by empowering individuals with peer-to-peer digital exchanges.

DeFi eliminates the fees that banks and other financial companies charge for using their services. Individuals hold money in a secure digital wallet, can transfer funds in minutes, and anyone with an internet connection can use DeFi.

JP Morgan even said while the news of the collapse of FTX is empowering crypto skeptics we would point out that all the recent crypto collapses in the crypto ecosystem have been from centralized players and not from decentralized protocols. 

Its time to take your crypto journey to the next level!
