Exchange Proof of Reserves: Asset Coverage, Ratios, and Verification

Article OKX Learn

Summary

This announcement describes an exchange’s monthly Proof of Reserves report and explains its aim of letting users check whether reported reserves cover customer assets. It reports US$14.5 billion in primary assets, says USDC was newly included in that figure, and notes that more than one million users had viewed reserve data or verified coverage since the program began. The company also states that it maintained reserve ratios of at least 100% for the listed assets for thirteen consecutive months, though the actual asset-by-asset ratios are absent from the supplied text.

The document presents regular publication and user verification as ways to encourage transparency. It also mentions new USDC wallet and aggregator features, but gives no technical details about the reserve verification method, liabilities, auditor involvement, or report limitations. These are company statements in a promotional message, so the figures alone do not establish solvency or provide an independent assessment of the exchange’s financial condition.

Key ideas

  • The announcement reports US$14.5 billion in primary assets and the addition of USDC to that total.
  • The company says its listed assets had reserve ratios of at least 100% for thirteen consecutive months.
  • Proof of Reserves is framed as a recurring process users can consult to check reported asset backing.
  • The text omits the individual reserve ratios and details about liabilities, verification methods, and independent assurance.
  • The figures are company-reported and do not alone establish overall solvency.
