Central and decentralized exchanges clash
The Coinbase combination is simply the current symptom of a more comprehensive pattern: centralized exchanges are significantly incorporating DEX platforms and functioning as an easy to use front end for them. In early October, Sergej Kunz, the co-founder of DEX aggregator 1inch, specified that central crypto exchanges will slowly fade and serve just as frontends for decentralized financing.
The landscape is moving, with DEX platforms seeing growing liquidity, faster order execution times, lower costs, and a significantly streamlined user experience. DeFi information platform DefiLlama reveals that all DEX platforms processed almost $12 billion worth of trades over the last 24 hr– this is more than Coinbase’s 24-hour area volume of $2.566 billion and similar to Binance’s almost $18 billion as reported by CoinMarketCap.
Up until now, Kunz’s forecast is holding up, with Coinbase far from the only central exchange to present comparable combinations. In mid-November, crypto exchange OKX likewise started providing DEX trading on its platform. At the end of March, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, likewise presented centralized-to-decentralized exchange trades on Ethereum, Solana, Base, and the BNB Smart Chain.
