High-performance order book DEXes usually have centralization risks in sequencers, matching engines, market makers, and oracles. If the initial circulation volume is low and the release of lockups is large, the market may experience continued selling pressure. In particular, U.S. stock products and synthetic assets are subject to significant regulatory risks by jurisdiction.
