Macro Trends

Gate Research: Over the past decade, the crypto user base has expanded exponentially, with CEX and DEX advancing in parallel to shape a diversified market landscape. CEX platforms have expanded steadily, while DEX ecosystems have risen rapidly, driving the overall market toward greater balance. Meanwhile, hacker incidents and cross-chain money laundering routes continue to evolve, with a noticeable rise in personal wallet thefts. In contrast, CEXs maintain trust and institutional advantages through global compliance frameworks and mature systems.

The market will keep progressing under this multi-track structure.
