  Cryptocurrency exchanges should prioritize implementing multi-signature wallets, which require multiple parties to approve transactions. This would prevent a single individual, like Gerry Cotten, from having sole control over customer funds. Additionally, exchanges should regularly conduct audits and ensure that customer funds are stored in secure cold wallets, offline and away from potential hacking attempts.

  In order to prevent similar incidents, cryptocurrency exchanges should establish clear succession plans and ensure that multiple individuals have access to customer funds. This would prevent a single point of failure and reduce the risk of funds becoming inaccessible due to the death or incapacitation of a key executive.
