Cryptocurrency exchange Bitunix has completed its latest reserve proof update for April 2026, confirming that its core assets remain well above the 1:1 ratio, underscoring the platform’s commitment to asset security and operational stability.
Reserve Ratio Details: BTC, ETH, USDT All Over-Reserved
According to the official reserve report, Bitunix reported reserve ratios of 101% for Bitcoin (BTC), 104% for Ethereum (ETH), and 108% for Tether (USDT). These figures indicate that the exchange holds more assets than the total user deposits, providing a safety buffer. All reserve data is publicly verifiable through Merkle trees, allowing users to independently confirm that their funds are fully backed.
Transparent Verification via Merkle Trees
Bitunix employs a Merkle tree data structure to generate its proof of reserves. Each user’s balance is hashed and combined into a single root hash, which is published. Users can then use a private proof path to verify that their specific balance is included in the total without exposing sensitive details. This zero-knowledge approach balances privacy with transparency, making it significantly more credible than traditional audit reports, which are often infrequent and opaque.
Industry Context and Significance
Following major exchange collapses like FTX, proof-of-reserves has become a crucial metric for trust in centralized platforms. Bitunix’s April update shows not only a healthy asset-to-liability ratio but also an improvement from previous periods. The over-reserved status for ETH and USDT (both above 100%) suggests a conservative risk management strategy, with extra liquidity to handle sudden withdrawal surges or market volatility. For traders, such high reserve ratios reduce counterparty risk and increase confidence in the exchange’s solvency.
Bitunix stated that continuous reserve proof updates reflect its “asset security first” philosophy. The exchange plans to increase the frequency of disclosures to monthly and is considering engaging third-party auditors to cross-verify the reserve data. As regulatory scrutiny intensifies globally, proactive reserve transparency will become a key differentiator for compliant exchanges.
