An exchange is a digital marketplace where users can buy, sell, and trade cryptocurrencies. Exchanges can be centralized, with a governing entity, or decentralized, operating directly between users without intermediaries.
They play a vital role in providing liquidity, facilitating price discovery, and enabling seamless transactions in the cryptocurrency market.
The choice between centralized and decentralized exchanges depends on factors such as security, convenience, and control over funds.
