FxWirePro- Major Crypto levels and bias summary 
In January 2026, Binance leads the world proof-of- reserves league.
According to CoinMarketCap's most recent report, Binance has become the undisputed leader in January 2026 proof-of-reserve rankings with assets valued at USD 155.64 billion. This highlights its position as the central liquidity hub in the post-2022 crypto market and puts it clearly ahead of all competitors. Such a big, verifiable reserve base raises awareness of Binance's resilience and openness in an environment still defined by past exchange failures.
The rankings show a clear tiered structure in exchange reserves. Tier 2 is headed by OKX with USD 31.29 billion and Bybit with USD 14.17 billion in reserves, but Binance stands alone in Tier 1. Tier 3 is primarily composed of regional and mid-sized platforms including KuCoin (USD 2.16 billion), MEXC (USD 2.97 billion), Bitget (USD 5.33 billion), HTX (USD 6.92 billion), and Gate (USD 7.86 billion), emphasizing a sharp scale drop-off beyond the biggest players.
Binance's reserve composition is toward liquid, excellent assets. About USD 47.47 billion, or 30.5%, is kept in stablecoins; about USD 49.84 billion, or 32%, is in Bitcoin and associated holdings; and around USD 34.2 billion is in exchange tokens like BNB, plus substantial positions in Ethereum and prominent altcoins including Dogecoin, XRP, and Solana. These proof‑of‑reserve disclosures are intended to show 1:1 coverage of client assets, a vital trust mechanism meant to reassure consumers and authorities that client cash are completely supported and instantly withdrawable.
