Voldemort gave Bellatrix Lestrange Hufflepuff's Cup (a Horcrux) to hide in her Gringotts vault because he trusted her fanatical loyalty and saw her vault as a highly secure, prestigious location, perhaps symbolizing his envy for a wizarding inheritance he never had, while rewarding her devotion, though he didn't reveal its true nature. He wanted it protected by the vault's powerful enchantments, including the multiplication curse, making it nearly impossible to steal, but she treated it with extreme reverence as a priceless treasure, as Harry Potter Wiki notes.
Voldemort, as mentioned kept his horcruxes at the places he was proud of or the places he once belonged. Moreover he used to see a vault in Gringotts as a part of being a wizard. So he placed the cup in Belatrix's vault. Also it was the safest place to keep things after Hogwarts.
Voldemort found Nagini in Albania after his initial defeat, likely while he was a weak spirit possessing snakes; she was a unique, powerful snake, possibly a Maledictus (a witch with a blood curse turning her into a beast), making her an ideal companion, and he eventually made her his final Horcrux by murdering Bertha Jorkins with her present. Their connection deepened as he used her venom to sustain himself and later made her a container for his soul, ensuring their bond was profound and twisted.
His reaction to Bella's death was akin to his reaction at the loss of the Cup, which was when he realised that his own immortality was jeopardised amidst war and his own death could have been near. This, to me, symbolises that after his own only Bellatrix's death had any impact on him.
