  Storing your cryptocurrencies on a digital currency exchange can expose you to several risks. One major risk is the possibility of a security breach or hacking attack on the exchange platform. If the exchange gets hacked, your funds could be stolen, and you may have little to no recourse to recover them. It's important to choose reputable exchanges with robust security measures to minimize this risk.

  Another risk is the potential for the exchange to go bankrupt or shut down. If this happens, you may lose access to your funds or face delays in withdrawing them. It's advisable to only keep a portion of your cryptocurrencies on an exchange and store the rest in a secure offline wallet.
