I was just wondering about something. From time to time we see exchanges get hacked, with a big loss of Bitcoins for the customers as a result. However, I was wondering if the other coins and tokens you are invested in disappears as well? Let's say Ripple, Zcash, Monero etc.
I assume the exchange makes a decision if they benefit more in the end by paying the customers back and continuing operations or shut down and not pay it back. Your funds will most likely comes down to a business decision. That's why it's better to use large exchanges. They have more to lose.
