Binance, one of the leading crypto exchanges globally, has unveiled its latest proof-of-reserves report, showing Dogecoin (DOGE), Shiba Inu (SHIB) and XRP balances.
Binance’s DOGE, SHIB and XRP Holdings
As outlined in the report, the exchange's net holdings in these three cryptocurrencies are quite substantial, with approximately 12.2 billion DOGE, 69.4 trillion SHIB and 2.7 billion XRP in reserves.

This revelation sheds light on Binance's strategy to ensure adequate liquidity and manage its risk profile effectively. By holding reserves slightly exceeding those of its users, Binance can navigate market fluctuations and sudden spikes in demand more efficiently, thereby enhancing the overall stability of its platform.
Despite Binance's robust reserves, DOGE, SHIB and XRP witnessed notable declines compared to the previous months. DOGE decreased by approximately 259,000, SHIB by about 3.3 trillion and XRP by approximately 67.2 million. Conversely, digital assets like USD Coin (USDC) and Solana (SOL) experienced notable increases in reserves, highlighting the inherent volatility of crypto markets.
Crypto market trends and analysis
It is essential to contextualize these findings within the broader crypto market dynamics. The report reveals a decline in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) holdings by approximately 1.3% and 1.98%, respectively, compared to January.
This observation aligns with broader market movements and investor sentiment toward these leading cryptocurrencies.
Monitoring fluctuations in crypto deposits and reserves across platforms like Binance is crucial for understanding broader market trends and anticipating future price movements. These insights inform traders, investors and analysts in making informed decisions within the crypto market.
