Bitstamp primarily uses cold storage to store user funds, keeping them offline and away from potential security threats. This approach provides an extra layer of protection against hacking attempts. On the other hand, Bitfinex uses a combination of hot and cold wallets. Hot wallets are connected to the internet and allow for quick access to funds, while cold wallets are stored offline for enhanced security.
