Binance crypto exchange users’ assets surpass $100 billion
Quick Take
- The value of assets crypto exchange Binance holds on behalf of its users has surpassed $100 billion.
- Binance said the milestone was reached following strong inflows and rising digital asset prices in March.
Assets held on behalf of its users by leading crypto exchange Binance have surpassed $100 billion.
Binance claims to hold all user assets at a 1:1 ratio, plus additional reserves, verifiable using its proof-of-reserves (POR) system of 31 supported digital assets. While useful, many have criticized such transparency measures by crypto exchanges as they fail to reveal audited fiat reserves, client and company liabilities, and other information to assess a firm’s financial health.
Binance’s latest POR snapshot at the beginning of March showed the reserves already nearing the figure. A combination of strong inflows and subsequent rising crypto prices this month means the milestone has now been hit for the first time since Binance began disclosing its user asset holdings in November 2022, the firm stated in a blog post on Monday.
The total value locked on Binance’s centralized exchange has nearly doubled from around $67 billion to $115 billion over the past year, according to DeFiLlama data.
