The centralized exchange (cex) Binance is the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trade volume, and the trading platform holds quite a bit of digital assets. There’s been a lot of discussions concerning proof-of-reserves lately and exchanges have been sharing crypto addresses to prove they hold specific assets.
Following the FTX collapse, Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) told the public that “Binance will start to do proof-of-reserves soon.” The exchange then provided hot and cold wallet addresses that week associated with Binance and the company further promised “Merkle tree [proof-of-reserves]” with plans to share them with the “community in the next few weeks.”
The analytics firm Nansen also published a dashboard that includes digital currency exchange reserves from Deribit, Crypto.com, Okx, Kucoin, and Binance. A snapshot from archive.org indicates that Binance’s reserve status on Nov. 11, 2022, was $26.71 billion. Nine days later, Nansen’s Binance reserves dashboard indicates the firm now holds crypto assets worth $65.69 billion.
