OKX’s Proof of Reserves (PoR) is primarily composed of USDT, BTC, and ETH, which together account for over 83% of its total reserves; the remainder consists of USDC and various altcoins. The overall reserve value amounts to approximately $27.185 billion. Given the high proportion of stablecoins in its asset portfolio, and the absence of any data regarding user deposits on the liability side, it is not possible to directly calculate the reserve adequacy ratio. The primary risks lie in the lack of third-party audit verification and on-chain address mapping, which prevents confirmation whether the assets have been misused or if there is excessive debt, thereby posing potential liquidity mismatch risks.
