The Dubai-based platform announced the launch of a Merkle Tree-based proof-of-reserve system to enable users to verify their assets deposited into the exchange as well as Bybit’s holdings. The verification is available in both trading and funding accounts. Bybit said that the new feature will also allow verification of the exchange’s wallet ownership and that assets are held with a 1:1 ratio. “With the release of the Merkle Tree, Bybit has further demonstrated its robust finances and commitment to full transparency. Users can use their Merkle Leaf code to check that their assets are recorded as liabilities in Bybit’s reserves. They can also verify Bybit’s ownership of the wallets and check that assets are held in a 1:1 ratio.” The move comes almost a month after Bybit
