Crypto CEOs have been very active in showing Proof of Reserves, with J.Powell the latest taking jabs at the transparency of others.
Kraken CEO Calls Out Binance
In a series of blistering tweets on November 25, CEO and Co-Founder of Kraken, Jesse Powell, has called out the validity and accuracy of Binance’s recent reveal of its Proof of Reserves.
Binance released its Proof of Reserves a day prior in an effort of transparency. But in short order, Powell didn’t hold back in his sharp critique of the “hand wavey bullshit” he sees from the world’s largest exchange, Binance.
Powell continued to explain that Proof of Reserves should be coming out from exchanges to see “whether an exchange has more crypto in its custody than it owes to clients.” Binance’s lack of liabilities––or accounts with a negative balance, as Powell notes too––does nothing but mislead consumers and the crypto community.
The Kraken Co-Founder didn’t stop at Binance, calling out journalists who promote something they don’t understand. It should be noted that your author opined that Binance should show proof of liabilities in a Nov. 22 article on Binance’s public presentation of Bitcoin reserves.
As noted in the tweet above, Powell defined true proof-of-reserves in a crypto exchange. He called for more vigorous audits that check all liabilities with cryptographic proof of the evidence.
The CEOs of major centralized crypto exchanges have been embattled publicly for weeks since the fall of FTX. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently called out Coinbase’s reserves which promoted CEO Brian Armstrong to issue a strong response. Dueling AMAs also occurred from CZ and Crypto.com’s CEO, Kris Marszalek.
The recent bank run on FTX was notably started by a tweet thread from Binance’s CZ as well.
