Gate.io's $10B+ Reserves Highlight Industry-Leading Security Practices

Gate.io, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its latest Proof of Reserves (PoR) report, revealing a staggering $10.328 billion in total reserves. This impressive figure represents a new all-time high for the platform and places it among the top exchanges globally, with a reserve ratio of 128.58%—significantly exceeding the industry benchmark of 100%. The report details robust reserves across major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (20,412 BTC, 123.06% reserve ratio), Ethereum (257,007 ETH, 112.04% reserve ratio), and Tether (910,783,326 USDT, 118.60% reserve ratio). Gate.io’s surplus reserves alone total $2.296 billion (28.58% surplus reserve ratio), a substantial increase from the previous period. This impressive reserve strength is underpinned by Gate.io’s commitment to transparency and innovative security measures. The platform leverages zero-knowledge proof (zk-SNARK) technology in its audits, providing users with a high level of transparency without compromising sensitive transaction data. This, coupled with cold and hot wallet verification, user balance snapshots, and Merkle tree structures, creates a robust verification system accessible directly on the Gate.io Proof of Reserves page. The report's findings have been further validated by an audit from the reputable blockchain security firm, Hacken, adding an extra layer of assurance for users. Gate.io’s proactive approach to security and transparency sets a high benchmark for the industry, particularly amidst growing concerns about exchange solvency.
