Yet, as Cermak noted: "However, while still relatively negligible, the share of volume traded on non-custodial exchanges increased in comparison to the amount traded on the centralized exchanges. ... The lack of liquidity, simplicity, as well as blockchain constraints, are among the reasons non-custodial exchanges haven’t caught on yet."
