The main reason is the sheer convenience of it. You don't have to worry about managing private keys, hardware wallets, or backup passphrases.

Everything is managed by the exchange and you simply need a username and password to access your funds.

If you actively trade your cryptocurrencies, you need them on an exchange. It provides instant liquidity, allowing traders to quickly react to market fluctuations.

Most exchanges have user-friendly interfaces and provide additional tools like charts, market data, and even trading tips.

Most personal wallets are "crypto only." If you want to convert to and from fiat currency (like USD, EUR, etc), then exchanges are usually the easiest way to do that.

By storing your tokens on an exchange, you're placing a lot of trust in the exchange's security measures. You’re also subject to the exchange’s policies, and they could freeze your account for a number of reasons.

In the spirit of decentralization and the oft-repeated maxim of the crypto world - "Not your keys, not your coins" - the safest way to store your cryptocurrency is in a personal wallet where you control the private keys.

Re: Warning: Don’t leave your funds on an exchange/crypto service

Leaving funds on an exchange exposes them to potential security vulnerabilities, such as hacking or unauthorized access. Exchanges can be targeted by cybercriminals, and if successful, your funds may be at risk of theftIn the event of an exchange's insolvency or closure, there's a risk that you may lose access to your funds. If the exchange goes out of business or faces legal issues, retrieving your funds could become complicated or even impossible. It's advisable to use hardware wallets or other secure storage options for long-term holdings.
