How would crypto fare without centralized exchanges?

This is unlikely to happen. It makes more sense to ban cryptocurrencies themselves than centralized exchanges. Imagine a situation where the government saw a threat in food products and banned stores that sell those products. Why? Wouldn't it be easier to ban the food itself? With the level of legalization of cryptocurrencies and the acceptance of cryptocurrency in general, a move like a complete ban on exchanges would be extremely illogical. After all, if you ban exchanges, there will be other ways to sell cryptocurrencies, and decentralized exchanges can also be banned, because they also act under someone else's jurisdiction.

In simple words, banning centralized exchanges is slightly less stupid than banning bitcoin. There is already too much money involved in the industry and too much infrastructure built for governments to take such stupid steps.

You have good logic about this case. Why not ban the usage of crypto itself if they will ban the platforms that are utilizing it? So nope, I am not seeing this happening. A lot of countries are already changing their stance towards crypto because even if they don't participate in this market, this continues to thrive. And they are already seeing it at a global scale. So why ban it if they can generate money from this industry?

The majority of users today prefer low transaction fees and being able to trade multiple currency pairs on one platform and we can convert to fiat quickly. I think this is the reason CEX is still popular.
Decentralized exchanges are still heavily restricted, but if centralized exchanges close completely, then developers will focus on developing and promoting the entire decentralized exchange to in line with market needs.
But the hypothesis that the entire CEX is banned is almost impossible. Instead of the government against, the government will make strict regulations or through CEX the government can control our transactions.

Never say never since governments are capable of doing anything in order to avoid losing power in the long run. Banning centralized exchanges altogether would be the ideal strategy to diminish crypto usage within the country. China did ban centralized exchanges with success, so it's probable other countries will do the same if they feel crypto threatens their economies. Without centralized exchanges, I guess developers will focus more on improving decentralized exchanges' performance. Liquidity for DEXs will surely increase as people pour money like crazy in these platforms.

While the total ban of centralized exchanges won't destroy crypto completely, it will certainly have an impact over its mainstream adoption. Market prices will probably go down the drain as most big investors will be afraid to join the crypto/Blockchain space. But Blockchains themselves won't disappear because of their decentralized and censorship-resistant design. Who knows what the future holds for the entire crypto/Blockchain industry? Just my thoughts

Of course, there is no 100% guarantee that this will not happen, but I am sure that if major countries block exchanges and cryptocurrency, following the example of China, these exchanges will simply open under new jurisdictions and continue to operate. It is impossible that absolutely the whole world is against cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrencies are a business and it is bound to benefit someone in this world. The crypto industry is mobile. Remember how miners simply changed their location after the ban, the same will happen to exchanges. Yes, the market will be shaken by such bans, but after exchanges reopen in other places, the market will start to recover, just like the hash rate recovered after the Chinese ban. It is impossible to ban cryptocurrency completely.

If governments unanimously rely on a "One World Currency", then it's probable they will ban crypto altogether. But it's very unlikely we'll ever see such a unified currency, since countries can't reach a common agreement. As long as this is the case, it will be impossible to ban crypto for good. Even if they did, crypto will still survive thanks to its decentralized and censorship-resistant design. Centralized exchanges only constitute a small portion of the crypto ecosystem, as the rest is dominated by miners, stakers, and even decentralized exchanges themselves.

What matters here is decentralization. With it, crypto will be able to stand the test of time regardless of a government crackdown or ban. Who knows if crypto lives alongside Fiat for generations? Just my opinion

[Argoo]

I think it’s quite clear that without the big, well known, centralised exchanges then crypto wouldn’t be as successful & mainstream as it currently is. Governments would probably have cracked down & shut down exchanges that didn’t comply with their annoying KYC & AML rules.

Of course, the relationship between states and cryptocurrencies will constantly change. The great popularity of cryptocurrency among the population of almost all states is a good guarantee that civilized countries will not prohibit the use of cryptocurrency. But the conditions of her walking will change until the optimal middle is established.

Cryptocurrency exchanges will be forced to work on the terms of the states at the place of their registration and location. Many discussed the fact that Binance refused to block Russian accounts. Now the head of one of the pro-Russian parties in Ukraine, Shariy, complains that, at the request of Ukraine, Binance blocked his cryptocurrency on this exchange. At the same time, the exchange provided Ukraine with all the information about itself, including all codes for managing cryptocurrency.

It is unlikely that the world would use anything uniform, there have always been discrepancies. I don't remember a time when the whole world used any particular standard or measure of measurement. Likewise with the attitude towards cryptocurrencies. Someone will not support the majority in any outcome. We will never see a single cryptocurrency solution and we will never see a single cryptocurrency for everyone.

Of course, it is better to use decentralized exchanges than centralized exchanges, because many investors use decentralized exchanges, I also don't recommend for centralized exchanges, because I heard a lot of hackers doing hacks on such centralized exchanges.

Yes, to reach on a common currency for the entire world won't happen. This is all because of the difference in the economies and countries won't destuct their own sovereignty. With cryptocurrency too the same is happening, the gold standard is the only thing that is being commonly followed by the countries. Maybe something similar to gold standard out of bitcoin might interest governments, but the volatility won't let it happen.

Crypto may not reach a level where it's completely prohibited to use it, but it'll be extremely regulated that only a few will find it attractive as a long-term investment. Governments are smart, as they bring "obstacles" or "bottlenecks" to the crypto industry for people to have no reason to abandon Fiat altogether. Without centralized exchanges, I don't think crypto would've reached massive adoption worldwide. I'm pretty sure crypto would've been "illegal" if only decentralized exchanges were in existence. At least, crypto is too big too fail. Who knows if it lives alongside Fiat for generations? Just my opinion

As far as I remember, the gold standard is no longer used, the last talks about its return were back in 2007, but the idea was not supported.

As for cryptocurrencies, there could be an interesting trend of using bitcoin as a gold standard for stablcocoins, as LUNA recently did with its UST stablcocoin. It's no secret that centralized, dollar-backed stablenecoins have a number of drawbacks, e.g. not all tokens are backed by real dollars. Most coins are backed by all sorts of securities and other similar assets.

Yes, we could see the volume on here.
https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/decentralized-finance/dex-non-custodial

So the trend did really make out some effects in terms of volume
but lets just accept the fact that it couldnt still beat up CEX when it comes to that.

Why? As long it doesnt really involved fiat conversions then it would really be staying below CEX.

[Dr.Osh]

the first most likely to happen is a massive dump. when most countries ban CEX, or crypto, it will make investors panic, and immediately sell their assets. most likely it happened because we could learn from China a few years ago. even 1 country can make bitcoin and altcoin prices fall. it will be even worse, if many countries simultaneously make crypto 'illegal'. some people might just stick with it, and use a DEX or other exchange. however, when crypto is deemed illegal, it will limit the movement of people, and when that announcement happens, I'm pretty sure there will be regulations regarding penalties for that, so I think a lot of people will leave crypto, especially if their knowledge is just an investment.

Adoption of cryptocurrency grows and many investors and traders prefer to use decentralize exchanges why can not block accounts of users.

Despite the fact that decentralized exchanges are developing very quickly and introducing a set of services that were previously inherent only for centralized exchanges, they are still inferior to CEX. But the advantages of decentralization offset such disadvantages and, accordingly, the future belongs to DEX.
