  One option is to disable Google Authenticator on your old phone and enable it on your new phone. This will transfer your Google Authenticator settings and codes to your new phone, allowing you to continue using it for secure cryptocurrency transactions. To do this, you'll need to access the Google Authenticator app on your old phone, go to the settings, and select the option to disable Google Authenticator. Then, install the Google Authenticator app on your new phone and follow the setup process to enable it. Make sure to securely store your backup codes in case you lose access to your new phone as well.

  If you don't have access to your old phone and you didn't save your backup codes, you can still regain access to your cryptocurrency accounts by contacting the customer support of the respective cryptocurrency exchanges. They will have procedures in place to help you recover your account and set up Google Authenticator on your new phone. It's important to provide them with any necessary information to prove your identity and ownership of the account.
