Could you elaborate on the distinction between cryptocurrency trading platforms and exchanges? Are they essentially the same, or do they serve different functions within the crypto ecosystem? I've heard the terms used interchangeably, but I'm curious if there's a nuanced difference in their operations, services offered, or regulatory standing. For instance, do trading platforms facilitate peer-to-peer transactions, while exchanges handle more centralized trading? Or is it a matter of scale, with larger, more established entities being referred to as exchanges? Clarifying this distinction would be invaluable for those new to the crypto world.
