According to the <a href="https://www.bybit.com/app/user/proof-of-reserve" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">report</a>, Bybit’s user Bitcoin assets have grown to 51,421 BTC, marking a 4.65% increase from the previous snapshot on September 4, 2024. This growth indicates a rising interest in Bitcoin among Bybit users. 
Similarly, Ethereum holdings have seen a positive trend, with user assets reaching 367,500 ETH, up 4.31% from the last report. 
While BTC and ETH assets grew, Tether (USDT) holdings on Bybit experienced a decrease. User USDT assets dropped to 2.91 billion, representing a 6.94% decline from the previous report. 
Interestingly, the report also shows a considerable decrease in Mantle (MNT) holdings. As per the report, user assets fell by 27.58% to 272,424,160 <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/cant-stop-wont-stop-blockdags-50-bonus-rolls-on-until-21st-oct-mantle-surges-near-protocol-swings/">MNT</a>. The exact reason for the drop in MNT reserves is unclear.

Bybit’s proof of reserve report also provides insights into the reserve ratios for various cryptocurrencies. These ratios indicate the proportion of assets held in Bybit’s wallets compared to user assets: 
<ul class="-mt-1 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8"> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Bitcoin (BTC): 106% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Ethereum (ETH): 106% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Dogecoin (DOGE): 113% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Polkadot (DOT): 114% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Mantle (MNT): 132% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Optimism (OP): 115% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">PEPE: 108% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">SHIB: 115% reserve ratio</li> 
</ul> 
Notable mentions include XRP with a 120% reserve ratio, UNI at 119%, and SHRAP at 118%. These high reserve ratios across multiple assets demonstrate Bybit’s commitment to maintaining robust liquidity and user fund security. 
The report also highlights the reserve ratios for various stablecoins: 
<ul class="-mt-1 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8"> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">USDC: 113% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">USDT: 110% reserve ratio</li> 
 <li class="whitespace-normal break-words">USDE: 101% reserve ratio</li> 
</ul> 
Bybit released its first proof of reserves report on December 5, 2022. The initiative began after the fallout of the FTX exchange. Ever since, exchanges like Binance, Bybit and a few others have begun releasing their monthly asset holding reports. 
This is meant to instill trust for the customers by ensuring that their crypto is not being mishandled by the exchange.
