User BTC holdings rose 4.26% from May 1 to about 630,000 BTC, an increase of 25,838\u2026 <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/P6GQBFhj3s\">pic.twitter.com\/P6GQBFhj3s<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WuBlockchain\/status\/2067519630810522035?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 18, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The mixed data shows users held more BTC and ETH on Binance, while reported USDT balances fell. The report does not show why balances changed. It does not prove whether users bought crypto, withdrew stablecoins, moved funds between products, or changed trading plans.<\/p>\n<p>A lower USDT balance can matter because stablecoins often act as dry powder for trading. However, the figure alone does not show whether liquidity left Binance or moved into other assets on the platform.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Proof of reserves remains under focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Binance uses proof of reserves to show that user assets are backed on-chain. The exchange says the process is meant to prove customer funds are held \u201c1:1\u201d and include extra reserves. The report is based on snapshots, so it does not operate as a live balance sheet.<\/p>\n<p>As crypto.news reported earlier, Binance led proof-of-reserve rankings with $155.6 billion in assets in January 2026, based on CoinMarketCap data. According to an earlier crypto.news report, Binance\u2019s open-source PoR system uses zero-knowledge proofs to improve verification and privacy for users.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Balance changes point to rotation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The June snapshot differs from some earlier reserve moves. In a previous crypto.news report, Binance\u2019s September balances showed declines in BTC, ETH and USDT during a weaker market period. The latest snapshot shows the opposite for BTC and ETH, even as USDT balances fell.<\/p>\n<p>crypto.news previously reported that Binance backed major tokens at more than 100% in a May 2025 reserves update, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. That earlier report said proof of reserves became more closely watched after FTX collapsed and users demanded clearer exchange backing data.<\/p>\n<p>The latest figures suggest Binance users held more core crypto assets and less USDT at the start of June. BTC and ETH remain the two largest non-stablecoin assets in most exchange reserve reports, making their balance changes a key market signal.<\/p>\n<p>Still, proof of reserves has limits. It shows reported asset backing at a point in time, but it does not fully explain liabilities, off-chain obligations, or user behavior. For that reason, the latest Binance report shows a balance shift, not a full picture of exchange health.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Binance has released its 43rd proof of reserves report, using a June 1 snapshot of user asset balances.\u00a0 Summary Binance users added 25,838 BTC in May, lifting reported holdings to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32301","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cryptocurrency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32301","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32301"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32301\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32302,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32301\/revisions\/32302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32301"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32301"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitunikey.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
