According to Coindesk community decentralized exchanges are the most high-demand field of Blockchain development. Why?
First of all, it is safe. Everyone knows about lost of funds from Exchange accounts. Mt. Gox, BitFinex, CoinCheck, Bitstamp, Bitgrail, MintPal is just a partial list of hacked Exchanges. Decentralized Exchanges use peer-to-peer transactions, i.e. funds are moving directly from a buyer to a seller without getting to the Exchange wallets. Therefore, even if the Exchange gets hacked your funds will remain in your wallet.
Secondly, it is anonymous. Just recently Bitfinex began sending letters to their users requesting reveal the information about tax residency. According to British Virgin Islands (BVI) laws the platform is required to provide certain account details to the Government. CoinCheck is delisting Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), Dash (DASH) and Augur (REP) as these are anonymous crypto currencies that make it hard to establish control over users. Decentralized Exchanges resolve the problem of global control identifying users by their wallet, not their personal data.
