Is the Insurance Fund’s Crypto Held in Hot or Cold Storage?

The majority of the insurance fund's crypto assets are typically held in secure cold storage (offline wallets) to minimize the risk of hacking. However, a small portion may be kept in hot storage (online wallets) to ensure immediate liquidity for covering minor, routine deficits.

The exchange's risk management policy dictates the exact split, balancing security with the need for immediate access.
