Due to the collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, the majority of the crypto investors were feeling panic to go with any centralized crypto company.
Recently Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of the Ethereum blockchain, proposed an idea for the crypto exchanges & projects to introduce a protocol, to show the on-chain crypto assets reserves.
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao confirmed that he discussed Vitalik’s proposal with his team and he confirmed that the Binance team will develop an open-source code, which will be available to use for other exchanges to show the Proof-of-reserves.
Vitalik's new ideas. Working on this.
