  There are several risks associated with using centralized exchanges for crypto transactions. One major risk is the possibility of hacking or security breaches. Since centralized exchanges store users' funds and personal information in a centralized database, they become attractive targets for hackers. If a centralized exchange gets hacked, users' funds can be stolen, and their personal information can be exposed. It's important to choose a reputable exchange with strong security measures in place to minimize this risk.

  Yes, there are risks involved in using centralized exchanges for crypto transactions. One risk is the lack of control over your own funds. When you deposit your cryptocurrencies into a centralized exchange, you essentially trust the exchange to hold and manage your funds. If the exchange goes bankrupt or shuts down, there is a chance that you may lose your funds. Additionally, centralized exchanges can also freeze or restrict your account for various reasons, which can limit your access to your funds.
