Ethereum Deposits Dip
In contrast, the Ethereum (ETH) assets deposited by users witnessed a slight decrease of 4.3% compared to the previous Proof of Reserves report. The current ETH assets held by Binance users stand at 3.89 million ETH. This fluctuation may be attributed to market dynamics and user trading behavior during the reporting period.
One of the most significant revelations from the report is the substantial growth in users’ Tether (USDT) assets on the exchange. USDT, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, is commonly used by traders to hedge against market volatility. According to the report, users’ USDT assets have surged to a staggering 15.44 billion USDT, representing a 1% increase since the last Proof of Reserves report. This increase highlights the continued demand for stablecoins within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, particularly during times of market uncertainty.
