Has any reputable exchange officially confirmed that accounts with NXT balance at the time of the snapshot will receive the appropriate number of tokens (for exchange/withdraw at a later date)?
Not so far. Edit: Only
AEX so far.
Bittrex has confirmed to support Ardor.
To be on the safe side, I want to recommend anyone to download the desktop wallet and move your coins over there. Its better to control the keys on your own when participating in something like this, its all about money here.
I would not risk not being credited my coins, just because I was too lazy to move my funds. Exchanges nowadays are shady, I would not trust them even if they promise something.
Better safe, than sorry.
