KuCoin to Conduct Proof-of-Reserve Verification, Ropes-In Audit Firm Mazars Group

 


“We place the safety and security of our users’ funds as our topmost priority,” KuCoin CEO has said.


KuCoin has added its name to a growing list of cryptocurrency exchanges whose proof-of-reserves are now being confirmed. Proof-of-reserves are documents that show a crypto exchange has sufficient assets to handle all withdrawals in the event of an emergency. After the FTX cryptocurrency exchange fell owing to a lack of liquidity last month, several crypto businesses are having their account information reviewed. The fiasco had a significant negative influence on the cryptocurrency market, which in the days that followed lost almost $200 billion (approximately Rs. 16,36,790 crore).

The platform with its headquarters in Singapore has hired Mazars Group (MG), a third-party audit company, to confirm its proof of reserves. The action aims to earn back client trust amid the current crypto winter and rekindle business.


"Our first concern is ensuring the safety and security of the money belonging to our users. KuCoin CEO Johnny Lyu was reported by CryptoSlate as saying, "Working with Mazars is the next stage in our efforts to expand asset visibility for our users, showcasing our dedication to transparency and improving industry confidence.

In a few weeks, KuCoin will formally publish the MG findings on its website.


In the final week of November, the Binance cryptocurrency exchange transferred BTC 127,000 worth over $2 billion (about Rs. 16,324 crore) into a wallet under its control. Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance at the time, had stated that the business was having an audit done on their proof of reserves.

Giottus and CoinDCX cryptocurrency exchanges from India also had their account reserves verified.


The co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, has given advice to the crypto community on how to get through difficult times by concentrating on technology and temporarily removing themselves from investment circles.

In the meantime, a number of cryptocurrency businesses have announced layoffs in an effort to keep their separate operations functioning smoothly in the face of the market slump.


The global cryptocurrency industry is currently valued at $864 billion (approximately Rs. 70,25,994 crore), down from its $3 trillion (about Rs. 2,44,97,715 crore) estimate from the previous year as a result of numerous hacking incidences and the failure of promising crypto projects like Terra and FTX.
