  Investors can protect their funds in case of a crypto exchange bankruptcy by diversifying their holdings across multiple exchanges. This reduces the risk of losing all funds in one place. Additionally, investors should regularly withdraw their funds from exchanges and store them in secure wallets that they control. By keeping funds off exchanges, investors can mitigate the risk of losing everything in the event of a bankruptcy. It's also important to conduct thorough research on exchanges before depositing funds, ensuring they have a strong reputation and robust security measures in place.

  In case of a crypto exchange bankruptcy, investors can consider using decentralized exchanges (DEXs) as an alternative. DEXs operate on blockchain technology and allow users to trade directly from their wallets, eliminating the need to deposit funds on centralized exchanges. This reduces the risk of losing funds in case of a bankruptcy. However, it's important to note that DEXs may have lower liquidity and limited trading options compared to centralized exchanges.
