Cold storage movement describes the transfer of digital assets from online, exchange-held wallets to offline storage solutions, such as hardware wallets or paper wallets. This action significantly enhances the security of funds by removing them from internet-connected systems. It typically indicates a long-term holding strategy by investors or institutions. Such movements reduce the risk of theft from cyberattacks targeting exchanges.
