DEX Trading Soars as CEX Regulatory Scrutiny Increases

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are experiencing rapid growth, capturing 14% of the market share and surpassing $40 billion in monthly trading volumes. This surge reflects a shift in user preference towards self-custody and enhanced privacy in response to increased regulatory pressure on centralized exchanges (CEXs). Leading DEXs like Uniswap and PancakeSwap have fueled this growth as users increasingly embrace decentralized financial access driven by blockchain innovation and the expanding DeFi sector.
