At Kraken, transparency isn’t a slogan – it’s a standard. Our latest Proof of Reserves (PoR) audit, finalized as of June 30, 2025, once again verifies that client assets held on our platform are backed 1:1 and beyond. The process covers major cryptoassets, including BTC, ETH, SOL, USDC, USDT, XRP and ADA.We don’t expect blind trust. We don’t need it. We offer cryptographic evidence.New to PoR? Learn how it works in our beginner’s guide.What our June 2025 report showsOur PoR audit captures a complete snapshot of client assets across all services – not just spot balances. It includes margin accounts, futures holdings and staked assets, offering a full-spectrum look at customer exposure.Reserve ratios as of June 30, 2025A quick refresher – what is Proof of Reserves?Proof of Reserves is a cryptographic process that allows clients to verify, independently and privately, that their assets are included in a third-party-audited snapshot of the platform’s liabilities.We use a Merkle tree to combine individual balances into a single cryptographic hash. Clients receive a personalized Merkle proof, which they can use to confirm inclusion without revealing personal details. An independent auditor then confirms that Kraken’s onchain holdings exceed total client balances – effectively verifying full reserves without assumptions.Why Kraken’s PoR goes furtherWhile more exchanges are now offering “PoRs” in some form, not all of them offer the same level of rigor or transparency. Here’s what sets ours apart:1. We account for liabilities, not just assetsSome platforms show what they hold – but skip what they owe. We include total client liabilities in every audit. Anything less isn’t a full proof of reserves.2. User-level verificationEvery client can verify their own inclusion using our open-source Merkle verification tool. This isn’t just about trust – it’s about verification.3. A decade of consistencyWe first pioneered PoR in 2014 – and we haven’t stopped. Kraken conducts PoR regularly and methodically, not just during news cycles.PoR is vital. It’s not about promises. It’s about proof – visible, cryptographic, third-party-verified proof. Kraken’s process is built to withstand scrutiny and empower users with information.What’s next – expanding scopeWe’re committed to publishing PoRs quarterly, alongside our financial disclosures, to ensure users have a regular window into platform solvency. We’re also actively working to expand the coverage of our PoRs to include more supported assets, giving a broader view of the reserves across our ecosystem.Since the beginning, Kraken has stood for accountability, independence and crypto-first values. We believe transparency should be an industry norm, not an afterthought. That’s why we’ll keep raising the bar.Ready to verify your account?
