## Description

FTX, DCG, 3AC, Celsius, BlockFi… A story of Grifters and Greed. Also, wonky tokenomics like Terra, unsafe bridges like Wormhole or Nomad… Decentralized Protocols have been hit hard too. This panel aims to explore both sides of the argument and provide a balanced perspective on the future of crypto exchanges.

Our panel will feature experts from both centralized institutions and decentralized protocols or companies. Facilitated by the dOrg Hot Seat host, Pol Lanski, they will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of centralized exchanges, as well as the potential solutions to some of their most significant drawbacks.

Most importantly, following the Hot Seat format, audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in lively discussions with our panelists. This panel is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the future of crypto exchanges to gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand and the potential solutions that are being developed. Join us as we navigate the highly debated topic of CeFi vs DeFi and its impact on the crypto industry.
