Échange Centralisé (CEX)

Plateforme de trading gérée par une entité centrale.

A Centralized Exchange (CEX) acts as an intermediary (like a traditional stock exchange) to match buyers and sellers. It holds customers' funds in its own wallets (custodial) and requires users to undergo KYC (Know Your Customer) verification. Examples include Binance, Coinbase, and Kraken. CEXs offer high liquidity, fast execution, and fiat-to-crypto on-ramps.
