Against All Odds: DEX Trading Soars Amidst SEC/Binance War!

SEC cracks down on Binance and Coinbase, accusing them of violations and unregistered operations. But hold on! Daily trading volumes on decentralized exchanges (DEX) surge by almost $800M in just two days. 

The SEC slaps a restraining order on Binance and sues Coinbase for alleged securities violations. Traders flock to DEX platforms like Uniswap and PancakeSwap, defying the legal chaos. 

Binance faces net outflows, yet maintains an $8B stablecoin balance.
