For Asian markets I only use Bybit, Binance and Kucoin, but I don't store Solana tokens in all those markets, I store Solana in my personal wallet like phantom or solflare, the Solana tokens I have are used as farmer points on the sactum and meteora platforms.
The exchange you mentioned has a good reputation, binance bybit kucoin. I also use it and so far it is safe. I agree with you that it's best not to store large amounts of coins for a long time, it's best to keep them in a personal wallet. because we don't know the sustainability of these exchanges, but I think so far the three exchanges are safe.
Yes, you are right, and also to avoid the loss of tokens that we have, if we have coins and are deleted by the market then we will lose the coins if we do not immediately withdraw within the time limit set by the market.
If we store our coins in a private wallet, it is more secure as long as we do not interact with the web or connect our wallet to any website.
That's why I've always done that for wallets that are specialized for storing coins that are intended for a long time such as investing in the long term.
In my opinion, exchange wallets are suitable for trading and medium term, but if you plan to hold for the long term, it is better to use a private wallet. This is safer and keeps you away from websites that spread phishing. Moreover, those who join the airdrop should create a new wallet and not connect it to our main asset.
Yes, that is the best way, the important thing is that if we store assets in a private wallet, do not forget the phrase or private key and do not interact with any website.
Scammers are now getting smarter and there are more and more ways to get the phrase or private key with just the clipboard in the browser.
Yesterday, many people were talking about the case of a person's wallet balance being depleted because he turned on the clipboard suit in the browser.
So stay safe and be careful every time you interact with a website or whatever it is.
