Crypto.News examines how often major exchanges publish proof of reserves

Crypto.News published a review of how often major exchanges publish proof-of-reserves data, arguing that frequency matters because each report is only a snapshot. The outlet said Bitget's September 2026 disclosure was its 46th monthly reserve update, showing a 135% total reserve ratio covering 19 assets, with monthly disclosures dating back to December 2022 and open-source Merkle verification for users. Crypto.News reported that Binance publishes monthly reports, while OKX and Bybit issue recurring reports using different verification methods, and that Kraken relies on independent attestations and Coinbase publishes audited financial statements instead of a retail proof-of-reserves report. The article proposed four questions for judging any exchange's disclosure: report frequency, which user balances are included, how users can verify their own inclusion, and whether a third party reviews the process. No other outlet covered this story in the evidence set, so the characterisation of the other exchanges' methods rests on Crypto.News alone.
