  Most cryptocurrency exchanges hold their crypto assets in cold storage wallets. These wallets are not connected to the internet, making them less vulnerable to hacking. By keeping the majority of their assets offline, exchanges can better protect against cyber attacks and theft. However, some exchanges also keep a portion of their assets in hot wallets for immediate trading purposes. It's important for exchanges to strike a balance between security and liquidity.

  Cryptocurrency exchanges usually store their crypto assets in secure wallets. These wallets can be either hardware wallets or software wallets. Hardware wallets are physical devices that store private keys offline, while software wallets are digital applications installed on computers or smartphones. By using secure wallets, exchanges can ensure the safety of their crypto assets and protect them from unauthorized access.
