OKX has published its 29th consecutive Proof of Reserves (PoR) report, consolidating its commitment to transparency in the crypto sector. The new report, dated March 31, 2025, reveals that the exchange holds $24.6 billion in primary assets, marking an 11% growth compared to the previous year. The independent verification was conducted by Hacken, a company specializing in blockchain security, confirming that user deposits are backed by reserves exceeding 100%.
The report includes a detailed breakdown of the reserves, updates on the internal auditing infrastructure, and new features regarding security and user awareness.
OKX: independent verification and reserves over 100%
The audit Proof of Reserves program of OKX receives validation from Hacken’s blockchain analysis systems, ensuring the presence of real funds sufficient to cover 100% of user deposits for as many as 22 main assets.
In detail, the four most relevant assets show the following reserve values:
- BTC: 105%
- ETH: 103%
- USDT: 101%
- USDC: 101%
These results highlight that the exchange holds more assets in its portfolio compared to the sum of user deposits, ensuring liquidity and security of the funds.
Growth of the patrimonio and asset allocation
The patrimonio totale verificabile has reached $24.6 billion. This figure represents an annual increase of 11% and reflects a consistent interest in custody guaranteed by a leading player among the exchange crypto trasparenti.
Distribution of main assets:
- Bitcoin (BTC): $11.6 billion
- Ethereum (ETH): $3.5 billion
- Tether (USDT): $8.2 billion
- USD Coin (USDC): $1.3 billion
The predominance of BTC and stablecoin demonstrates users’ preference for high-capitalization and stability assets, in a still volatile landscape.
Efficiency of the PoR process of OKX
In recent years, OKX has implemented an advanced PoR model, earning from Nic Carter, an expert in auditing crypto, the highest score among global exchanges.
In 2024, the exchange optimized the verification process by reducing the PoR file from 2.55 GB to just 598 KB. This means that anyone can perform an automated and personal verification in a lighter and more accessible way, without compromising accuracy. The audit is therefore usable even by users with limited technical resources.
Multilevel security certified by third parties
OKX adopts a layered security strategy that includes:
- New generation cold and hot wallets
- Authorization systems through multi-signature
- Tools based on artificial intelligence for threat detection
- A multibillion-dollar Insurance Fund available for emergency coverage
To these is added the monitoring by independent entities such as SlowMist, Hacken, and CertiK. This approach acts on multiple levels: prevention, response, and risk transparency.
OKX Protect: security education for users
With the awareness that security is a shared responsibility, OKX has introduced the OKX Protect training program. This platform offers resources for retail and advanced users with the aim of reducing incidents due to individual compromises.
Among the available contents:
- Configuration of two-factor authentication
- Use of anti-phishing codes
- Quote alerts and practical advice for trading
- Tutorial on secure wallets and management of the seed phrase
In this way, OKX promotes a proactive education on crypto security, an essential component for the sustainability of the entire blockchain ecosystem.
Communication on discrepancies in external data
Due to some scheduled maintenance operations on its wallets, OKX indicates the possibility of temporary discrepancies in the data reported by external blockchain monitoring services.
Such tools, not updated with the new addresses, might erroneously display reserves in decline. OKX assures that all funds remain fully safeguarded and is collaborating with the main auditing providers to realign the information.
Access to verifiable data
Users who are interested can freely consult all the official data and download the updated documents on the dedicated page.
Here is available the self-custody verification of funds and the comparison between custodied assets and actual balances. This is a fundamental tool for those who wish to adopt a non custodial and transparent approach in managing their investments.
OKX compared to other exchanges and outlook
According to evaluations by experts like Nic Carter and reports on PoR auditing, OKX is currently among the few exchanges to maintain verifiable audit on a monthly basis and publicly accessible. Other names in the sector, including Binance, Kraken, and Bitfinex, implement diversified but less standardized PoR approaches.
OKX positions itself as an example of best practice in on-chain verification, thanks to the emphasis on transparency, technical efficiency, and user protection.
The roadmap includes further developments: in the following months, the company plans to extend the PoR program to secondary assets, integrate public APIs for automated external audits, and launch partnerships with educational companies to spread the concept of verified reserve in the market internationally.
With the 29th Proof of Reserves, OKX establishes a new benchmark in the certified crypto audit sector. Consolidating assets for $24.6 billion with over 100% reserves, introducing operational improvements and educational tools, the exchange aims to build long-term trust among investors and institutions.
The report not only demonstrates the solidity of the OKX infrastructure, but represents a step forward towards a more responsible, verifiable, and user-centric crypto industry.
