Is Cronos Safe?

It is looking increasingly likely that Cronos and Crypto.com are unsafe platforms to use. This is after the collapse of FTX and the communities request for Crypto.com to show proof of reserves, which they have failed to do. This has led to a lot of users migrating their funds from Cronos and Crypto.com to safer and more decentralized platforms like Synapse.
