Gate Research: Over the past decade, the crypto user base has expanded exponentially, with CEX and DEX advancing in parallel to shape a diversified market landscape. CEX platforms have expanded steadily, while DEX ecosystems have risen rapidly, driving the overall market toward greater balance. Meanwhile, hacker incidents and cross-chain money laundering routes continue to evolve, with a noticeable rise in personal wallet thefts. In contrast, CEXs maintain trust and institutional advantages through global compliance frameworks and mature systems. Looking ahead, CEX and DEX are expected to coexist in the long term—CEX will remain the primary gateway and compliance hub for mainstream users, while DEX will continue to drive ecosystem expansion through openness and innovation. The market will keep progressing under this multi-track structure.
