The token is a placeholder for the coin. The token has no intrinsic value. It will be just as safe and more useful as native Aion coin in an Aion-approved wallet, and once the hardware wallets get on board you can just transfer or import your native Aion there.
People did hold and trade crypto before hardware wallets, after all.
Don't miss the swap window and risk having your tokens trapped on Ethereum just because you're holding out for a hardware wallet option!
