Central trading platforms are collapsing while bitcoin market activity moves quickly, and decentralized platforms are taking center stage.

 Several large cryptocurrency trading platforms had trouble staying open and in business during Wednesday's market crash, which saw Bitcoin and Ethereum lose 30% and 40% of their value respectively within 24 hours.


Coinbase, the leader in the US crypto market, reported intermittent crashes throughout the morning, while the world-popular Binance trading platform temporarily halted withdrawals of Ethereum-related cryptocurrencies. 

Gemini reportedly encountered delays in processing transactions, and Kraken indicated problems with Connection.


 While the decentralized trading platforms managed to remain operational despite the high volumes resulting from yesterday's selling.


Centralized trading platforms such as Coinbase allow people to buy, sell and trade cryptocurrencies via an exchange platform.


In this business model, trades are not recorded on the blockchain, but rather within the platform's private wallets; The platform takes custody of cryptocurrencies.


In contrast, decentralized trading platforms help peer-to-peer trading and do not keep users' assets.


One of the advantages of decentralized trading platforms is that they are often immune to the interruptions facing their central peers.


This is because they are distributed protocols that use smart contracts on a public blockchain, often Ether, operating it.


As long as the blockchain is in operation, the decentralized trading platforms also continue to trade.


Blockchain networks contain built-in redundancy so that they get rid of downtime, as millions of computers run programs around the world.


Ashley Shab, head of growth at Uniswap, a pioneer in the decentralized platform arena, said the platform was running this Wednesday morning.


But all this does not mean that trading via the DEX decentralized trading platform does not have a downside.


For starters, tradable cryptocurrencies are often limited to those that use the same blockchain as the DEX decentralized trading platforms, which makes purchasing assets like Bitcoin less easy.


Yet, one can purchase a laminated version that mimics the price of Bitcoin as “wBTC”.


The "THORChain" blockchain has also appeared, which is integrated with the "ShapeShift" trading platform, eliminating the need for encapsulated Bitcoin completely.


The disadvantages of decentralized trading platforms are the high fees, network congestion, and the difficulty of use as they are characterized by user interfaces, unlike centralized trading platforms.


However, it remains one of the solutions that can be resorted to at a time when the central trading platforms are stopped, which has become common and usual.
