FAQ

What are cryptocurrency exchange reserves?

Cryptocurrency exchange reserves are stocks of cryptocurrencies and fiat money held by the exchange to ensure liquidity and meet its obligations to users. These funds are used to cover user withdrawals and ensure the smooth operation of the trading platform. Reserves should match or exceed the total amount of user deposits, which is an indicator of the exchange's financial stability.

Why is it important to check cryptocurrency exchange reserves?

Checking reserves is critical for assessing the reliability of the exchange and protecting users' funds. After the collapse of FTX and other exchanges, transparency of reserves became a key factor in trust. Sufficient reserves guarantee that the exchange can fulfill its obligations to customers at any time. Regularly checking reserves helps prevent fraud, identify financial problems early, and protect the market from systemic risks.

How can users check the reserves of an exchange?

Users can easily check exchange reserves in the "Cryptocurrency Exchange Reserves" section on platforms like CryptoRank or independently review Proof of Reserves reports on the exchange's official websites, using self-verification tools provided by exchanges for verification and inclusion of their funds in independent audits.

What is Proof of Reserves?

Proof of Reserves (PoR) is a cryptographic method that allows exchanges to confirm the existence of sufficient assets to cover their obligations to users without disclosing confidential information. The process involves creating cryptographic proof of ownership of funds on public blockchain addresses, conducting an audit by an independent third party, and publishing the results.

What methods are used for auditing CEX reserves?

Several methods are used for auditing reserves: traditional financial audits by authoritative companies; cryptographic proof of reserves using Merkle trees; auditing liabilities to confirm the ratio of assets to liabilities; online monitoring of exchange wallet addresses through blockchain explorers; and independent verification via specialized platforms. The most reliable approach is a combined one with regular checks by third-party companies.

What risks are associated with insufficient reserves on CEX?

Insufficient reserves create significant risks: the inability of the exchange to fulfill withdrawal requests, leading to user asset freezes; bankruptcy of the exchange during a mass outflow of funds (bank panic); using client funds for the exchange's own operations without their consent; price manipulation and the creation of artificial liquidity; loss of user trust and reputational damage to the entire industry. History shows that insufficient reserves often precede the complete collapse of an exchange, as seen with Mt. Gox, FTX, and Celsius.
