but it depends on the trust you give to the exchange or how reputable it is, like Binance, Bitget, and Bybit. In short, do it at your own risk.
Take note that you should not trust any exchange or custodial service with your funds, no matter how reputable you believe the exchange is. Recent events have shown that any centralized exchange can collapse and even if they don't, they could still confiscate your funds for any reason at all. Store your funds only in your self custody, back up your seed phrase in a safe location and add extra layers of security.
