Binance Updates Proof of Reserves Page, Says User Balances Backed 1:1

Crypto News reported that Binance updated its Proof of Reserves page, saying user balances are backed 1:1 and that reserve ratios sit above 100% for many assets.

Why it matters

A Proof of Reserves page is how a centralised exchange addresses whether customer deposits are fully backed, and Binance's page now covers a long list of tokens alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. Its significance is limited: the update restates the exchange's own backing claim, and no reserve totals or independent verification were reported.

What happened

Crypto News reported that Binance updated its Proof of Reserves page, stating that every user balance on the platform is backed at a 1:1 ratio and that the reserve ratio is above 100% for many assets. Alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, the report lists USDT, BNB, Solana and USDC, plus WLD, PUMP, DOT, WLFI, ARB, TRUMP, RLUSD, POL, CRV, PENDLE, APT, FORM, S, OP, WIF, BOME, CHZ, GRT, 1INCH, ENJ, SSV, TUSD, CHR, MASK, BUSD and HFT. The report gives no per-asset reserve totals, no snapshot date, and names no auditor or verification method. Its headline names XRP, though the asset list in the body of the report does not include XRP. Only Crypto News has covered the update, so the 1:1 backing claim and the above-100% reserve ratio are Binance's own statements carried by a single outlet.
