withdrawal fees on Uniswap

NO..

I know for sure that you do not trade on Uniswap

Couple of years ago DEX wasn't much popular than right now. People couldn't use it properly because lack of liquidity. That's why many DEX died also. But After Uniswap rise the whole picture is change about DEX exchange. Many promising DEX also coming now days which have lots of liquidity, volumes and much security like Uniswap. The way Uniswap going, i wouldn't surprise if it will take place over Binance.
A couple of years ago, it was absolutely safe to trade on centralized exchanges.There was no regulation or useless "Know Your Customer" procedures.
