Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether Holdings
As of June 1, 2024, Binance users held 582,292 BTC, reflecting a modest increase of 534 BTC compared to May 1st. Similarly, user ETH holdings climbed 7.02% to reach 4.664 million tokens. Conversely, USDT holdings by customers witnessed a decline of 3.38%, settling at 22.08 billion.
XRP and SHIB: A Closer Look
The PoR delves deeper into specific cryptocurrencies like XRP and SHIB, offering insights into their current state on the exchange.
For XRP, customer net balances stood at a significant 2.9 billion XRP (2,900,709,887), while Binance’s net balances reached 2.934 billion XRP (2,934,745,782). This figure encompasses direct exchange balances (2.914 billion XRP) and XRP held in third-party custody (20.69 million XRP). Notably, the XRP ratio sits at 101.17%, indicating a slight surplus in one of the balance metrics.
Similarly, the report sheds light on SHIB holdings. Customer net balances for SHIB amounted to a staggering 62.62 trillion tokens (62,621,636,992,214), exceeding Binance’s net holdings of 64.8 trillion SHIB (64,808,700,407,107). This includes direct exchange balances (64.599 trillion SHIB) and SHIB stored in third-party custody (209.55 billion SHIB). The SHIB ratio of 103.49% suggests that customer holdings for SHIB marginally surpass those held by Binance.
The 19th PoR report reveals that Binance’s total asset reserves amount to $124.69 billion. This figure reflects a net outflow of $1.54 billion compared to the previous month. It’s crucial to consider these reserve fluctuations within the broader market context. Recent market volatility could influence user behavior, potentially leading to shifts in asset holdings on the platform.
Transparency and User Confidence
By consistently publishing PoR reports, Binance aims to foster transparency and build trust with its user base. These reports demonstrate the exchange’s commitment to maintaining a strong reserve position and adhering to a 1:1 reserve ratio for user assets. This transparency is vital for ensuring user confidence and promoting the overall health of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Additional Considerations: BONE Listing
The report primarily focuses on major cryptocurrencies. However, the Shiba Inu ecosystem encompasses additional tokens, such as BONE. While SHIB enjoys extensive support and listings on leading exchanges like Binance, the community continues to advocate for the listing of BONE. While the report doesn’t address the potential listing of BONE, future PoR reports might provide updates on this topic.
