Explained Simply

Crypto exchanges are marketplaces for buying and selling digital assets. Centralized exchanges (CEX) like Coinbase and Kraken act as intermediaries — they hold your funds and match orders. Decentralized exchanges (DEX) like Uniswap run on smart contracts and let you trade directly from your wallet. When choosing an exchange, consider fees, security, supported assets, and regulatory compliance in your country.
