Types of Crypto Exchanges

Centralized Crypto Exchange (CEX) 

Centralized Crypto Exchanges have intermediaries that function as banks for crypto trading. The centralized exchange depicts a traditional cryptocurrency exchange in the crypto sphere. These exchanges are governed by a central authority offering both crypto-to-crypto and fiat-to-crypto trading.  These platforms often function as reliable intermediaries for trades and act as custodians by managing and securing the funds. 
Generally, CEX platforms verify identity and ask for Know Your Customer(KYC)details, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) checks before the user begins trading. 

Decentralized Exchange (DEX)

Decentralized exchange refers to an alternative to a centralized exchange. Decentralized Cryptocurrency Exchange is a platform where there is no central point of failure i.e. it facilitates crypto trading without the involvement of a third party thus eliminating the commission fees. The platform automates transactions and trades through smart contracts and decentralized applications.

Peer-to-Peer Exchange (P2P)

Peer-to-peer (P2P) Exchange is a platform that allows people to trade directly with one another eliminating the need for a centralized party to facilitate transactions. P2P does not demand any KYC details before initiating the trade. Peer-to-peer exchange is based on the concept of decentralized exchange enabling direct trading without the involvement of a third party or central authority. The major difference between DEX and P2P is the escrow, which plays a vital role and the escrow wallet is controlled by the admin.
