Our 20th Monthly Proof of Reserves

·

Demonstrating Trust with $22.4 Billion in Verified Assets

We’re proud to unveil our 20th consecutive Proof of Reserves (PoR) report, confirming $22.4 billion in primary assets backing customer funds across the platform. This milestone reinforces our commitment to transparency, security, and user trust—cornerstones of OKX’s mission in the evolving digital asset landscape.

To date, over 1.65 million users have independently verified that their holdings are fully backed on a 1:1 basis. This level of user participation underscores growing confidence in cryptographic proof systems and the importance of auditable reserve practices in crypto.

Consistent Reserves for Key Digital Assets

As part of this month’s PoR audit, OKX continues to maintain over 100% reserve ratios for 22 of the most widely traded cryptocurrencies on the platform, including:

The current reserve ratios for core assets are:

These figures reflect our proactive approach to risk management and capital adequacy, ensuring that customer deposits are not only matched but exceeded by verifiable on-chain holdings.

This month’s report includes the publication of 628,484 public wallet addresses, enabling anyone to independently audit the total asset balance using blockchain explorers and third-party tools.

Why Proof of Reserves Matters in Crypto

In an industry where trust is paramount, Proof of Reserves has become a critical benchmark for exchange integrity. Unlike traditional financial statements, PoR leverages cryptographic verification to prove solvency without exposing sensitive user data.

OKX stands among the few global exchanges publishing PoR reports monthly, setting a high bar for accountability and long-term reliability. Regular audits help users make informed decisions and promote healthier market dynamics across the crypto ecosystem.

Zero-Knowledge Technology: Privacy Meets Transparency

What sets OKX’s PoR process apart is our integration of Zero-Knowledge Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge (zk-STARK)—a cutting-edge cryptographic protocol rooted in Vitalik Buterin’s vision for privacy-preserving computation.

This technology allows us to:

By combining zk-STARKs with Merkle tree structures, we ensure both integrity and confidentiality, giving users peace of mind that their data remains secure while still being able to confirm platform solvency.

Industry Leadership in Transparency Advocacy

Beyond publishing reports, OKX actively contributes to broader discussions about trust in crypto. Last month, our Chief Innovation Officer Jason Lau shared insights at the DC Blockchain Summit, highlighting how PoR can drive institutional adoption and regulatory clarity.

We also hosted an engaging X Spaces session featuring:

The conversation explored the role of PoR in building resilient markets, preventing fraud, and fostering user empowerment.

Expanding Across Europe: A Compliant, Secure Future

Official Launch in France, Spain, Germany & Poland

Under the leadership of Erald Ghoos, CEO of OKX Europe, we’ve accelerated our European expansion through MiCA passporting from our regulated entity in Malta. This enables seamless market entry across EU jurisdictions while adhering to strict compliance standards.

We’ve now launched fully regulated centralized exchanges in:

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 user balances. It enables independent verification of solvency without revealing private user information.

How often does OKX publish PoR reports?

OKX publishes Proof of Reserves reports monthly, making it one of the few exchanges to do so consistently. Our 20th report confirms ongoing commitment to transparency.

Can I verify my own assets in the PoR?

Yes. Using your account’s Merkle tree path and the published list of wallet addresses, you can independently confirm that your holdings are included in the total reserves via blockchain explorers.

What does a 100%+ reserve ratio mean?

A reserve ratio above 100% means the exchange holds more assets than customer liabilities for a given cryptocurrency—ensuring full coverage even during market volatility.

What is zk-STARK and why does it matter?

zk-STARK is a zero-knowledge proof system that verifies computations without exposing underlying data. In PoR, it allows OKX to prove asset totals while preserving user privacy—enhancing both transparency and security.

Is OKX regulated in Europe?

Yes. OKX operates under a VASP license in Malta and uses MiCA passporting to offer regulated services in France, Spain, Germany, and Poland—with plans to expand further.
