One year ago, the crypto world stood at a crossroads. Confidence was shaken, transparency was scarce, and users were demanding accountability. In the aftermath of high-profile failures like FTX, trust became the most valuable asset in digital finance. That’s when OKX made a bold commitment: to lead by example through full, verifiable transparency.
Today, we mark a significant milestone — our 12th consecutive monthly Proof of Reserves (PoR) report. This isn’t just a routine audit; it’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to user security, technological innovation, and industry leadership.
Our latest PoR confirms $12.5 billion in verified reserves across BTC, ETH, and USDT — representing 103% coverage of user holdings. Every dollar is provably backed, on-chain, and open for public verification. You don’t need to take our word for it. You can check it yourself using our open-source tools and zero-knowledge (ZK) proof technology designed for maximum privacy and accuracy.

Why Proof of Reserves Matters More Than Ever
Transparency isn’t a trend — it’s a necessity. After the 2022 market turmoil, users began asking harder questions: Is my money safe? Can I trust this platform? Where are my funds actually stored?
A recent survey revealed that 84% of respondents consider monthly PoR reports either “important” or “very important,” while 88% say transparency is a key factor when choosing a crypto platform. These numbers reflect a fundamental shift: users no longer accept blind trust. They want proof.
At OKX, we agree. That’s why we didn’t wait for regulation or public pressure — we took initiative. Over the past 12 months, we’ve published millions of blockchain addresses, enhanced our Merkle tree structures, integrated ZK proofs for tamper-resistant validation, and expanded asset coverage beyond major tokens to include more stablecoins and native assets.
We’ve done all this not because it’s easy, but because it’s right.
Three Pillars of Trust and Innovation
Our journey over the past year has been built on three core principles:
1. Technological Integrity First
OKX was founded in 2017 as a technology-first company. We’ve never engaged in risky proprietary trading or leveraged capital beyond sustainable limits. Our focus has always been on building robust infrastructure — secure wallets, reliable exchanges, and scalable Web3 solutions — that serve real user needs without compromising safety.
This conservative approach allowed us to navigate multiple market cycles unscathed and emerge stronger after each downturn.
2. Product Leadership Across Web3
We didn’t stop at exchange services. Last year, we launched OKX Wallet, one of the most advanced self-custody wallets in the Web3 space. It supports over 100 blockchains, offers seamless dapp interaction, and integrates directly with our exchange for frictionless asset transfers.
We also introduced X Layer, our EVM-compatible Layer 2 network powered by zkRollup technology. With more than 200 dapps already live on its public mainnet, X Layer enables faster transactions, lower fees, and greater scalability — all while maintaining decentralization and security.

3. Global Brand Clarity and Mission-Driven Growth
From rebranding from OKEx to OKX, to launching campaigns like Rewrite the System, we’ve worked to make our mission clear: empower individuals with open financial systems built on transparency and accessibility.
Today, we serve over 50 million users worldwide and rank among the top global platforms for trading volume, liquidity, and Web3 engagement — not because of hype, but because of consistent delivery.
Expanding Trust Through Strategic Partnerships
Trust doesn’t exist in isolation. It grows through collaboration.
We’ve partnered with leaders across the ecosystem to raise standards industry-wide. Our integration with Immutable, a leading Web3 gaming platform, introduced the GameFi Launchpad — a dedicated NFT launch ecosystem for blockchain games. This brings Web3 gaming assets into the mainstream, giving players true ownership and developers better distribution tools.
Additionally, our enhanced partnership with CoinRoutes now supports institutional traders with advanced execution algorithms and smart order routing — further bridging traditional finance with decentralized markets.
And now, we’re taking another leap forward with OKX Pay — a built-in crypto payment solution within the OKX app. Designed for simplicity and global reach, OKX Pay aims to make cryptocurrency spending as seamless as digital banking.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is Proof of Reserves (PoR)?
A: PoR is a cryptographic audit method that proves a crypto exchange holds sufficient assets to cover user balances. It uses Merkle trees and blockchain verifications so anyone can independently confirm reserves.
Q: How often does OKX publish PoR reports?
A: Monthly. We’ve published 12 consecutive reports since August 2023, making us one of the most consistent platforms in the industry.
Q: Can I verify OKX’s reserves myself?
A: Yes. Using our open-source tools and ZK-proof validators available at okx.com/proof-of-reserves, you can audit the data directly on-chain.
Q: Does 103% reserve ratio mean OKX is overcollateralized?
A: Yes. A ratio above 100% indicates that OKX holds more assets than required to back user funds — a strong sign of financial health and risk management.
Q: Why is transparency important in crypto?
A: Because trust must be earned, not assumed. Transparent practices prevent misuse of funds, reduce systemic risk, and encourage long-term adoption.
Q: Are all user assets included in PoR?
A: Our current PoR covers BTC, ETH, and USDT — some of the largest user-held assets. We continue expanding coverage to include more tokens based on demand and feasibility.

Looking Ahead: Building the Future on Trust
One year of monthly PoR is just the beginning. As crypto evolves, so will our commitment to accountability.
We envision a future where every platform adopts regular audits, where zero-knowledge proofs become standard practice, and where users have full control and visibility over their digital assets. We’re not waiting for that future — we’re helping build it.
To everyone who has verified our reports, shared feedback, or simply asked tough questions — thank you. Your scrutiny makes the ecosystem stronger.
