Folks who trade more than a couple of times a day, do you have to have your crypto in the exchange during the non-trading times ?

I have the Chase Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, and Sapphire Preferred. Now that Freedom Unlimited offers 5% on travel, 3% on dining, and 3% on drugstores with no annual fee, not sure why I should bother keeping the Sapphire Preferred with a $95 annual fee. Would I miss out on anything if I cancel the CSP? Also, I find the Chase travel portal, which I get a 25% value advantage through CSP, to be overinflated and not a good value — have never used it.
