🔓 What is proof of reserves and why it matters in 2025

In a post-FTX world, trust is everything. And in 2025, users aren’t just asking if their funds are safe — they want proof.


That’s where Proof of Reserves (PoR) comes in.

🧮 What is it?

Proof of Reserves is a cryptographic method that lets exchanges prove they hold enough assets to cover user balances — without exposing sensitive user data.

It answers the big question:
“If everyone withdrew at once, would the platform survive?”
With PoR, the answer is transparent — and verifiable.

🔐 Why Binance leads here

Binance publishes regular PoR reports, backed by Merkle Tree technology, showing real-time asset snapshots across major coins like $BTC, $ETH, $USDT and more.
You can verify your holdings independently — no middleman, no marketing spin.

Plus:

✅ Wallet addresses are public
✅ Reports are frequent
✅ Coverage ratios >100% across major assets

This isn’t just PR. It’s accountability.

🤔 Why it matters

In 2025, platform transparency = survival.
More users are choosing exchanges that offer proof, not promises. PoR is now a baseline standard — and Binance helped set it.

If your exchange can’t prove it holds your funds… maybe it’s time to move.
