I don't trust DEX to, I'd rather do KYC in a legit exchange rather than taking risk in a DEX exchange. It's really too risky especially if you don't know where to check the reviews of those exchange and you are not doing the right research at all then it is possible that you will be victim of it.
We're the same path, I also don't trust DEX and also dont like because of the low volume of trader. Most likely your token/coins that will sell there were at the cheap price. As of now, there is a BinanceDEX exchange, don't have KYC if you dont exceed 2 btc. The number one factor in DEX that I dont like is no support to their traders.
