CryptoQuant confirms that Binance’s reserves have nothing similar to FTX’s

Binance has suffered a media turmoil in recent days, amid a legal investigation and suspicions of insolvency. While the publication of the exchange’s reserve proof did not meet with unanimous approval, the firm CryptoQuant carried out its own analysis: the behavior of Binance’s reserve has nothing abnormal or in common with that from FTX in the past.

CryptoQuant takes a look at Binance

Blockchain data analytics firm CryptoQuant has released a report analyzing Binance’s proof of reserve audit done last week. As a reminder, this had been supported by the firm Mazars and had been questioned by many players in the ecosystem.

What does Binance’s Proof of Reserve (PoR) report tell us from an on-chain perspective?

To anyone wondering whether to trust Binance’s proof reserve or not, CryptoQuant simply replies: no need, since all information is available in the blockchain. Concretely, the audit of the exchange was carried out on November 22, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. That corresponds to block 764327 of the Bitcoin blockchain.

At that time, CryptoQuant indicators estimated that Binance’s bitcoin reserves were 591,939 BTC. In comparison, the Mazars audit report indicated 597,602 BTC. This therefore means that CryptoQuant’s measurement strategy 99% valid audit data:

“The report shows that Binance’s BTC liabilities (customer deposits) are 97% backed by the exchange’s assets. Collateralization increases to 101% when BTC lent to customers is counted. »

Binance has nothing to do with FTX

In addition, the analysis firm looked at Ether (ETH) and stablecoins. As evidenced by the graphs below, Binance reserves do not show abnormal behavior. At least, they have nothing to do with those of FTX, whose manipulations are one of the reasons for the collapse.

Finally, CryptoQuant analyzed an important piece of data: the proportion of the native token of its own platform in its reserves. As a reminder, it is partly because of its overexposure to its own token, the FTT, that FTX precipitated its fall. At this game, Binance is doing pretty well with a health indicator of 89% :

Concretely, this means that Binance holds just over 10% of its cash in Binance Coin (BNB), its own token. Of $60.4 billion in assets, around 6.2 billion are in BNB. This figure is considered as “acceptable” by CryptoQuant.

An audit that reassures Binance

Following the fall of FTX, centralized exchanges were forced to comply with an audit to ensure that their reserves match customer funds. This is the case of Binance, whose expertise revealed that the number of Bitcoin (BTC) held is higher than estimated: it is 101% over-collateralised.

However, these disproportionate figures were not enough to reassure customers. In addition, many major and recognized players in our ecosystem questioned the audit processjudging that the procedure was agreed in advance and that it is not a thorough and complete study.

After the strange timing chosen by Reuters to reveal exclusive content on the judicial investigation around Binance, the FUD continued with a questioning of the solvency of the platform and its audit. This new CryptoQuant study comes to calm the storm as the entire cryptocurrency market retreats on Friday, December 16.

Update: the Mazars platform, recognized throughout the world for its tax expertise, has announced that it will cease all activities with cryptocurrency exchange platforms this Friday, December 16.
