Binance Upholds Transparency Standards
Binance’s Proof of Reserve audit provides a detailed account of the digital assets held in custody for customers. The crypto exchange has stated that the reserve specifically excludes Binance’s corporate holdings, which are recorded on a separate ledger.
The release of the audit not only underscores Binance’s dedication to transparency but also serves as evidence of the exchange’s substantial presence in the global cryptocurrency market. Binance has also taken its transparency and security values a step further by utilizing an advanced cryptographic tool, the Merkle Tree. This tool enables users to verify their asset holdings on the exchange through their Merkle hash or record IDs.
