Retail investors are gradually "waking up" as they can no longer tolerate the manipulation suspicions from centralized exchanges (CEX). The new trend shows that capital is quietly shifting to decentralized exchanges (DEX), where transparency and control over assets are prioritized.

Many believe that CEX reaching saturation is only a matter of time, and that DEX is truly the future of the crypto market. Recent developments of $HYPE and $ASTER partly reflect the increasing interest in this ecosystem. Meanwhile, $AVNT has not yet made a clear breakthrough, but with the growth momentum of DEX, many investors think it’s only a matter of time.
Market cycles are always changing, and names like DYDX or GMX that once led may no longer hold the same appeal. However, the debate will undoubtedly continue — supporters of the old model versus those betting on a decentralized future. Ultimately, the market will be the one to give the clearest answer.
