In simple words
What happened?

Why does it matter to India?
If confidence in crypto falls, risk appetite can weaken in broader markets and for Indian investors who trade these assets.

What happened
Coinbase says it keeps more than 99% of customer assets offline, while Gate reports 88.26% of its total assets are kept in cold storage. The comments come after the Binance attack and are meant to show stronger asset protection.
Why it matters
The main India link is through sentiment, not through the real economy. Any fresh worry about exchange safety can affect local crypto activity and the mood around risk assets, while a reassurance effort can calm trading.
Global impact
This kind of news usually moves crypto markets first. It can then spill into wider sentiment around exchanges, digital assets and other high-risk trades, though the effect on Indian listed markets is usually limited.
