Pros and Cons
Pros
Cons
- From Cointelegraph (13-11-2022):
"Just two days after Crypto.com made its cold storage information public, investigators found that 320,000 Ether was sent to Gate.io on Oct. 21, 2022. However, Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Crypto.com, dismissed any wrongdoing by stating that the funds were transferred accidentally and were eventually returned back to the original storage. On Oct. 28, Gate.io released its proof of reserves snapshot, which, Solidity developer Shegen alleged, was done using Crypto.com’s funds."
