Top DEX tokens to buy after CEXs run into liquidity issues

Uniswap (UNI/USD), Stellar (XLM/USD), and PancakeSwap (CAKE/USD) are all decentralized exchanges (DEXs) that feature their native cryptocurrencies.

We covered the issues that FTX has been running into with its native cryptocurrency, known as the FTX Token (FTT/USD), such as its lack of liquidity.

We looked at how Binance was planning on acquiring FTX, as confirmed initially by Binance (BNB/USD) founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.

However, Binance later confirmed that they would not pursue the acquisition of FTX.com. The exchange did say that the hope was for the company to support FTX customers and provide liquidity.

Both Coinbase and Kraken’s platforms were also down and were experiencing intermittent latency issues on November 8 due to market turbulence. 

Kraken did not comment on issues through its public channels but highlighted that it uses Proof-of-Reserves audits.

Users are starting to embrace DEXs, and if you want to do so, Uniswap, Stellar, and PancakeSwap are some of your best options.
