Ethereum has over 260,000 validators right now [0], and you can run one on a Raspberry Pi. Some are on centralized exchanges but most are not.
Rocketpool [1] also recently launched which is a decentralized service that makes it super easy to setup your own node, and more profitable than staking anywhere else.
My node is generating the normal staking rewards (~5.5%), plus another 12% bonus (from ETH from individuals being paired with my node), plus another 50% in RPL rewards. That 50% will surely drop, but it will always be better than just staking by itself.
RocketPool also allows individuals to stake as little as 0.01 ETH, the same as centralized exchanges, but it's decentralized, and they get rETH in return, which they can use in Decentralized Finance, giving them even better returns.
Put together Rocketpool gives better returns in a more decentralized way than any centralized exchange does, and unless you're really new and don't want to move off your exchange, it's a no brainer better alternative.
