One does not generally expect a financial institution to stuff its pockets fuller than a squirrel before hibernation, but the latest OKX proof-of-reserves communiqué shows precisely that. In what can only be described as a display of crypto belt-and-braces, OKX is clutching more assets than its clientele have deposited—for 22 rather spiffing cryptocurrencies, no less! If only Aunt Agatha had been this careful with her pearls…
Now, try wrapping your noggin around this: the bally platform has a whopping $23.1 billion in its metaphorical mattress, spread daintily across all the big names—Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), and an assorted cast of others, each one flashier than the cuffs on Bertie Wooster’s dinner jacket. 💸
In a statement positively dripping with self-congratulation, OKX declares it has the “security and safety of customer assets” as its raison d’être. Not one to be caught with an empty pantry during a surprise visit from the auditors, OKX claims a 1:1 reserve ratio, which, in layman’s terms, means if you put a pound in, they keep a pound jolly well stashed away (and sometimes even an extra sixpence for good measure).
To keep matters on the level, this whole shebang has been looked over by Hacken, a web3 security auditor with what one imagines to be a very fine monocle. OKX trumpets a reserve ratio north of 100% for 22 cryptocurrencies, the lone exception being their own token, OKB, which rather suspiciously only manages a proper 1:1 ratio. One imagines OKB is the black sheep of the family. 🐑
Consider the king of coins—Bitcoin. OKX’s virtual vaults bulge with 139,082 BTC, or as financial types say, “$13.2 trillion, give or take a couple of yachts.” With customers having parked just 133,151 BTC, OKX merrily holds an extra pint (that’s 104% for those still counting on fingers and toes).
Ethereum, ever the reliable second-in-command, is similarly housed at a stately 104%. Tether, known for sticking to the dollar come hell or high water, also finds itself at the 104% mark, with a mighty 8.15 trillion USDT lounging in the reserves. You get the picture—money everywhere, like a banker’s fever dream. 🚀
USDC, Dogecoin, Solana—OKX has more than enough of them too, with ratios creeping up to 101%. But the true overachiever here is XRP, which boldly strides past the others with a 110% ratio, presumably having eaten its oats that morning. 🏅
All this “Proof of Reserves” show-and-tell amounts to a rather nifty cryptographic handshake, confirming, at least for the present, that should trouble rear its ugly head (as trouble so often does), OKX has enough tucked away to meet its obligations and keep the show on the road. Doubtless, a comforting thought for anyone who prefers their crypto like their butler—solid, reliable, and never seen making a run for the exit.
