Odaily News Tigran Akhunts, head of P2P business at Huobi HTX CIS, was invited to attend the Blockchain Forum 2025 "DEX vs CEX: Who will win the trader war?" roundtable forum. He pointed out that CEX has obvious advantages in user experience, security, and meeting diverse trading needs. Although DEX performs well in decentralization, it has limitations such as high gas fees, slow transaction speeds, and dispersed liquidity. He believes that CEX and DEX are not a zero-sum game, but coexist to serve different user needs.
Tigran Akhunts also pointed out that at this stage, CEX is narrowing the gap with DEX by integrating DeFi functions to integrate the advantages of DEX, adopting reserve proof and third-party audits to improve platform transparency, etc. In addition, CEX continues to innovate in AI trading tools, cross-chain support, and fee optimization to enhance the overall trading experience and consolidate its core position among mainstream traders.
