OKX has announced a major milestone in its transparency and security journey, revealing that it now holds $35.4 billion in primary customer assets, fully backed and verifiable on-chain. This marks the exchange’s 36th consecutive month of Proof of Reserves (PoR) reporting — setting a new benchmark for trust in the crypto industry.
According to a press release shared on October 30, the exchange confirmed that its reserves — verified by blockchain security firm Hacken — show over 100% coverage across 22 major assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Tether (USDT), and USD Coin (USDC).
🔹 75% Surge in Assets and 3 Years of Continuous Reporting
The latest report marks three full years of uninterrupted PoR disclosures for OKX, a record unmatched by most major exchanges.
During that time, total reserves have surged 75% year-over-year, reflecting both market recovery and growing user confidence.
“Three years of PoR reporting show progress and consistency. What started as a crisis response has set an industry standard,” OKX stated. “As crypto integrates further with traditional finance, we’ll ensure trust is always verifiable — on-chain and open for all.”
🔹 100%+ Coverage Across All Major Assets
OKX’s latest on-chain audit shows all major holdings are over-collateralized, exceeding industry expectations for reserve strength:
- Bitcoin (BTC) — 105% reserve ratio
- Ethereum (ETH) — 102%
- Solana (SOL) — 102%
- Tether (USDT) — 106%
- USD Coin (USDC) — 100%
Even altcoins and memecoins show full coverage. Dogecoin (DOGE) maintains a 101% ratio, and Ripple (XRP) reserves exceed customer balances by 6%.
A portion of these funds is kept in third-party custody, ensuring additional segregation and security for client assets.
🔹 User Engagement and On-Chain Verification Soar
Transparency isn’t just growing on the exchange side — users are getting more involved too.
Engagement with OKX’s “View My Audit” tool has jumped 123% year-over-year, while participation in zero-knowledge (ZK) verification audits has surged an incredible 386%.
This shift suggests users are no longer just trusting exchange statements but are actively verifying their balances — a key evolution in user security behavior.
🔹 Bridging Crypto and Traditional Finance
Building on its verifiable transparency foundation, OKX is now extending its reach into traditional finance (TradFi).
The exchange recently expanded its partnership with banking giant Standard Chartered into the European Economic Area, giving institutional clients the ability to trade on OKX while maintaining asset custody with a Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB).
This structure merges crypto liquidity with legacy financial safeguards, creating a hybrid model that could set a new precedent for institutional crypto participation.
🔹 Reinforced Security and Compliance
To further enhance trust, OKX has earned the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management and the CSA STAR Level 1 attestation for cloud security — demonstrating its adherence to global compliance standards.
🔸 A New Standard for Transparency
With $35.4 billion in verifiably backed assets, 100%+ reserve ratios, and three years of uninterrupted PoR audits, OKX continues to cement itself as one of the industry’s most transparent and well-capitalized exchanges.
Its continued investment in on-chain verification, ZK technology, and bank-grade partnerships signals a clear message:
crypto transparency isn’t just possible — it’s becoming the new normal.
