In an era where trust and transparency are paramount in the digital asset industry, OKX continues to lead by example. We are proud to announce the release of our 25th consecutive Proof of Reserves (PoR) report, verifying USD 26.7 billion in primary assets backing customer funds—an impressive 32% increase from the previous reporting period.
This milestone reflects not only our growing user base and increased platform activity but also our unwavering commitment to accountability, security, and long-term sustainability in crypto.
Strong Growth Across Major Cryptocurrencies
The latest PoR audit reveals significant growth in our reserve holdings across key digital assets:
- Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) led the surge, with substantial increases in wallet balances
- Stablecoins USDT and USDC maintained consistent growth, reinforcing confidence in their stability
- Overall, combined holdings of BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC rose by 32%, demonstrating strong user trust and platform resilience
This growth is a direct result of increased customer deposits, expanding trading volume, and our ongoing efforts to enhance liquidity and asset protection.

100%+ Reserve Ratios for 22 Top-Traded Assets
One of the most critical indicators of exchange solvency is the reserve ratio—the percentage of customer-held assets that are fully backed by on-chain reserves.
In this month’s report:
- BTC: 104% reserve ratio
- ETH: 102%
- USDT: 104%
- USDC: 100%
More importantly, we maintain over 100% reserve ratios for 22 of our most frequently traded assets, ensuring that every customer deposit is fully covered—and then some. This means OKX holds more assets in reserve than customers have deposited, providing a critical buffer against volatility and operational risks.
These figures are independently verifiable through cryptographic proofs, allowing users to confirm that their funds are secure and fully backed.
A Culture of Transparency: Two Years of Monthly PoR Reports
Last month marked a major achievement: two full years of uninterrupted monthly Proof of Reserves reporting. As one of the few global exchanges to commit to this level of consistency, OKX is setting a new standard for transparency in the crypto industry.
Over two million customers have now used our PoR verification tool to check their balances against our public reserves. This aligns perfectly with the foundational crypto principle: “Don’t trust, verify.”
We encourage every user to take advantage of this free, open-access tool to independently validate that their assets are safely held.
Beyond Proof of Reserves: A Multi-Layered Security Framework
While PoR is a crucial step toward trust, it's only one part of a comprehensive security strategy. At OKX, we combine PoR with several advanced safeguards:
- Multi-billion-dollar Insurance Fund*: Designed to protect user assets in rare extreme scenarios (available in select markets)
- AI-powered blockchain monitoring systems that detect suspicious transactions in real time
- End-to-end encryption and cold storage solutions for maximum fund protection
- Regular third-party audits and penetration testing
Together, these measures form a robust defense system that goes far beyond basic solvency checks.

Why Proof of Reserves Matters in Today’s Crypto Landscape
In recent years, the collapse of several major exchanges has underscored the dangers of opaque operations and insufficient reserves. In such an environment, transparency isn't optional—it's essential.
Proof of Reserves empowers users to:
- Verify that their funds are actually held
- Confirm that the exchange isn’t engaging in fractional reserve practices
- Make informed decisions about where to store and trade their assets
For institutional investors and retail users alike, PoR reports serve as a baseline for due diligence—especially in decentralized finance, where self-custody and verification are core values.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Proof of Reserves (PoR)?
Proof of Reserves is a cryptographic audit method that allows cryptocurrency exchanges to prove they hold sufficient assets to cover all customer deposits. It enables users to verify that their funds are fully backed without compromising privacy or security.
How often does OKX publish PoR reports?
OKX publishes Proof of Reserves reports monthly, making us one of the few exchanges to maintain a consistent, long-term transparency schedule. This month marks our 25th consecutive report.
Can I personally verify my funds in the PoR?
Yes. OKX provides a publicly accessible verification tool that allows any customer to check if their account balance is included in the total reserves. This supports the crypto ethos: “Don’t trust, verify.”
Are stablecoins like USDT and USDC fully backed?
According to this report, both USDT and USDC hold 100% or higher reserve ratios, meaning OKX maintains at least one dollar’s worth of reserves for every stablecoin held on behalf of customers.
Does PoR guarantee my funds are safe?
While PoR is a powerful transparency tool, it should be one part of your security assessment. At OKX, PoR is combined with insurance coverage, AI monitoring, and encryption to provide layered protection for your assets.
Is the Insurance Fund available worldwide?
The multi-billion-dollar Insurance Fund is currently available in specific markets only. Eligibility depends on regional regulations and user jurisdiction.
