According to the latest data:

• 27.9% of all spot crypto trading volume is now happening on decentralized exchanges.(Binance Square)

• As of early 2025, DEXs account for 7.6% of total trading volume, up from just 3% in 2023.(Grayscale Research)

This is not just a trend - it is a signal that decentralized finance is moving from the fringe to the center.

Why DEXs Are Gaining Momentum

Several structural forces are driving this evolution:

1. Trustless Execution

CEX collapses (FTX, Celsius, BlockFi) taught the market a painful lesson: “not your keys - not your coins.” With DEXs, custody remains in the hands of the user, and execution is enforced by smart contracts, not opaque middlemen.

2. Lower Fees & Better Access

Gas optimization, L2s, and aggregator technology have made swapping on DEXs cheaper and smoother.At the same time, DEXs list assets early - long before they appear on centralized platforms.

3. Composability & Modularity

DEXs are programmable infrastructure - they integrate with wallets, aggregators, yield protocols, and AI agents.CEXs are siloed, custodial, and rigid.

CEX Weakness = DEX Opportunity

• Many top CEXs have tightened listing standards or de-risked by avoiding “early-stage” assets.

• Regulatory pressure is growing - and CEXs are slowly centralizing further to survive.

This leaves a wide open space for DEXs to become the native rails of the on-chain economy.

What This Means for Builders

The DEX is no longer just a backend liquidity venue - it is the new interface layer for trading, investment, and market structure.

With the rise of:

• Real-time oracle data

• AI-powered liquidity optimization

• Modular smart contracts

• Non-custodial margin and LP layers

We are witnessing the birth of intelligent, dynamic DEX infrastructure.

Why Liqui Is Built for This Era

At Liqui, we saw this shift coming.

That is why we have built a modular, AI-native DEX architecture designed for the next phase of DeFi:

• Autonomous liquidity agents

• Oracle-native execution logic

• Margin & risk layers that adapt in real-time

• Infrastructure built on MegaETH for 100,000+ TPS and sub-10ms block finality

As the DEX volume ratio continues to rise, platforms like Liqui will define the new trading standard - fast, decentralized, intelligent.

The Bottom Line

This isn’t a short-term spike.It’s not just “DeFi season.”It’s a long-term structural shift in how crypto markets work.

Centralized exchanges got us started. Decentralized platforms will take us further.

And Liqui is building the rails for what comes next.

The Liqui cryptocurrency exchange was founded in 2016 by a group of developers from Ukraine and other European countries. During the development phase, our main goal was to create a trading platform that would be user-friendly for beginners while offering a wide range of trading services for experienced users.

We strived to provide secure, convenient, and innovative trading tools. Our focus was on meeting all user needs, including trading, investing, buying, staking, borrowing, and much more. We quickly evolved from an experimental trading platform into the most popular altcoin market, gaining popularity among cryptocurrency investors and traders.

Thanks to a vast selection of cryptocurrencies, a unique and recognizable design, and excellent service, we were able to attract a significant audience to our platform.

By the end of 2018, Liqui had over 400,000 active users and offered the ability to trade more than 600 cryptocurrencies.

CHAPTER II Every End is a New Beginning
2019 January

After analyzing the risks and negative market factors, and forecasting potential liquidity issues, we made the difficult decision to cease providing services and notified our users of the need to initiate the withdrawal process. We understand that we have lost the trust of part of the community, but we remained honest.
We would like to thank you for your tremendous support during this challenging time.

NEW CHAPTER
2025

We have remained in the shadows for a long time, but now we are ready to return, to relaunch the Liqui, and once again become the number one decentralized trading platform.

We are ready to offer the broadest range of services and tools, as well as ensure the highest level of customer service and security. Our unique solutions will help newcomers to the market gain a positive trading experience, as well as develop and use their own unique trading strategies.

Thanks to our extensive experience and the implementation of innovative solutions, we are confident that we can achieve success and set a new standard in decentralized trading.
