Is that one Lightning transfer enough to cut the trace or it is still somehow possible to associate the final address back to the original exchange?
Lightning Network is centralized network and analytic companies like Chainalysis are already tracking everything on Lightning Network.
I'm interested to know what is your description of the Lightning Network being "centralized".
Because it's not managed by a single authoritarian or a central server.

If it's a reference to those old topics about "banking hubs" lightning nodes, those are just for FUD purposes.
