Why do billions still flow through centralized platforms when there's barely any reward for trading there?

Simple. When money's on the line, people don't gamble with experiments—they stick to what's proven. Liquidity, speed, and that sense of security (real or not) keep pulling traders back. The infrastructure might not be sexy, but dominance isn't built on incentives alone. It's built on trust, even if it's just familiarity dressed up as confidence.
