Why Are New Crypto Tokens Launching on DEX First in 2026?

A growing trend in 2026 is that many crypto projects launch their tokens on decentralized exchanges first before moving to centralized exchanges. Platforms like Uniswap and PancakeSwap allow faster listings and immediate liquidity. For startups, this approach helps build community and trading activity early. Some blockchain service providers, like Security Tokenizer, assist projects with token creation and listing support.

What strategy do you think works best for new tokens?
