I've recently been accumulating a position in XRP, but I feel somewhat uncomfortable storing 100% of those tokens at my exchange. I've been trying to verify a Gatehub Wallet for over 7 weeks now...still pending verification.

Where else can I store my Ripple? I'm not too familiar with the various wallet services out there (still pretty new to crypto investing). Does anyone have any solid recommendations??
Thanks for any feedback!!
Yes as a newbie I would also like to know this, particularly as ripple do not suggest any wallets. At this moment I still have them on the exchange but would like something more secure.
I would consider using Rippex wallet. Haven't used it by myself but read that it's open source, available for all platforms and gives you a control over your private keys. In any way can't say for sure whether it's reliable enough but probably it will be more wise to store coins there rather then on exchanges. Nevertheless the best option is hardware wallet like it has been said above.
