With increasing regulatory pressure from mainstream governments, developers of DEXs would have no choice but to make KYC mandatory to prevent their project from being shut down for good. Once that happens, there would be virtually no difference between a decentralized and a centralized exchange. What makes a DEX unique is the ability to trade cryptocurrencies without revealing any personally-identifiable information. When you add KYC to a DEX, you'd be introducing a single point of failure (which is something crypto/Blockchain tech was meant to avoid in the first place).

Crypto is heading towards a dark future after the Terra/LUNA and FTX collapse, so we should expect further centralization down the road. Just my opinion. Smiley

I can also add what makes DEX unique. It's the ability to pay for a transfer and not get the service required. Many people don't want to mess with DEX because the hassle with smart contracts and their calling, which costs money, is sometimes discouraging. CEX is much easier for the average user who doesn't want to deal with all the smart contracts, bridges, blockchains, wallet connections and stuff like that. He just needs to quickly and conveniently exchange one currency for another without any slippage, without any fees for calling up a smart contract and cancelling the exchange due to incorrect or expired quotes.
