On the contrary, after BTC and few top alt coins; exchange tokens are the next option for me. It's obvious most coin experience huge dump in price and our digital gold isn't excluded. You have highlighted the attractive use cases of some of these viable exchange tokens and I feel that's convincing to hodl them. Another point worth highlighting about these tokens particularly BNB and BGB which I am currently benefiting from its utilities as it is used for launchpad and launchpool events. If you put those benefits together you would realize those tokens are worth holding compared to most coins in the market but of course you need to understand the fundamentals of any exchange token on your radar before investing.
You make some excellent points. Exchange tokens can be great long-term investments compared to other alts. I also enjoy holding them, especially for staking/farming benefits like you highlighted earlier for BGB, I think it's exchange, Bitget is celebrating the token; hitting continual ATH with some juicy rewards right now.. Another appealing reason to hold these kinda tokens
