That said is there an option for cold storage? Any heads up would be good. Likewise what exchanges are open on this?
For cold storage any Ethereum address will work. Just send them from the myetherwallet to that address. You will have to import the private keys into a token aware wallet in the future if you want to spend them.
Since veritaseum released VERI as an ERC20 token, this will work on distributed as well as central exchanges. If you have an account on a main exchange open a support ticket to have VERI added.
