Dubai, UAE, April 2nd, 2026, Chainwire


Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its 32nd Proof-of-Reserves (PoR) report, reflecting asset balances as of Mar. 18, 2026. Independently verified by Hacken, the latest disclosure confirms that reserve ratios across all major tracked assets are above 100%, indicating that user liabilities continue to be fully backed by on-chain reserves.

The report reflects Bybit’s ongoing practice of publishing verifiable reserve data, enabling users to independently confirm that custodial assets are sufficiently collateralized.

Key Metrics (as of March 18, 2026)

  • USDT Reserve Ratio: 108%
(User Assets: ~5.72 billion USDT | Wallet Holdings: ~6.19 billion USDT)

  • USDC Reserve Ratio: 104%
(User Assets: ~728.4 million USDC | Wallet Holdings: ~764.3 million USDC)

  • BTC Reserve Ratio: 108%
(User Assets: 49,365 BTC | Wallet Holdings: 53,757 BTC)

  • ETH Reserve Ratio: 101%
(User Assets: 516,717 ETH | Wallet Holdings: 525,205 ETH)

Analysis: Consistent Buffer Above 1:1 Backing

The March snapshot shows that Bybit maintains a measurable reserve surplus across all reported assets, with the largest buffers observed in BTC and USDT holdings at 108%. This level of overcollateralization provides an additional margin above the 1:1 benchmark, which may help absorb short-term liquidity pressures.

ETH reserves, while closer to parity at 101%, still exceed total user balances, indicating full coverage with a narrower buffer. Meanwhile, stablecoin reserves (USDT and USDC) remain notably above user liabilities, reinforcing liquidity depth in commonly used trading pairs.

Overall, the distribution suggests a balanced reserve structure across both volatile assets and stablecoins, supporting operational flexibility while maintaining verifiable solvency.

Advancing Verifiable Transparency

As Proof-of-Reserves reporting continues to gain traction across the digital asset industry, regular disclosures backed by independent verification are becoming a key mechanism for demonstrating platform solvency. Bybit’s monthly updates contribute to this evolving standard by providing consistent, on-chain visibility into reserve composition and asset backing.
