Binance Publishes 12th Proof of Reserves, Report Shows 100%+ Coverage.
Leading crypto exchange Binance released its 12th proof of reserves report on Wednesday, providing a snapshot of its user asset holdings as of November 1st. The report showed moderate decreases in bitcoin but gains in ether.
Binanceâs proof-of-reserves system analyzes its own wallets to demonstrate coverage of user funds. The latest report provided figures, including:
⢠Bitcoin holdings decreased 0.7% to 584,000 BTC from October 1st.
⢠Ether holdings increased 2.2% to 3.91 million ETH.
⢠BNB holdings rose 6.4% to 31.21 million.
⢠USDT holdings dropped 0.2% to 15.27 billion.
The moderate fluctuations in bitcoin, ether, and stablecoins indicate relatively steady platform activity over the past month as markets traded sideways.
Reserves still provide 100%+ coverage
Importantly, Binanceâs reserves continue to provide at least 100% coverage of all monitored liabilities across assets.
⢠BUSD reserves equal 133.6% of customer balances
⢠USDC reserves equal 103.7% of customer balances
⢠LTC reserves equal 101.43% of customer balances
⢠XRP reserves equal 104.18% of customer balances
Ongoing scrutiny after FTX collapse
Binanceâs frequent disclosures aim to provide transparency following FTXâs dramatic collapse due to mismanagement of customer deposits.
Unlike audits, Binanceâs cryptographic proofs showcase total wallet balances. But details on exact custody arrangements and liabilities remain unclear.
Still, Binanceâs reserves report provides reassurance during the turbulence created by FTXâs failure. The exchange hopes consistent disclosures will differentiate it as users grow cautious of centralized platforms.
