After FTX vanished with billions in customer money, “proof of reserves” became the phrase every exchange started using. This guide explains what it really proves, what it quietly leaves out, and how to tell a meaningful attestation from a marketing badge. Summary Proof of reserves lets crypto exchanges verify on chain holdings against customer liabilities instead of relying only on trust.

Asked on a podcast whether XRP holders could receive equity in a Ripple public offering, Brad Garlinghouse nodded and floated a “special arrangement.” It was vague, unpromised, and electrifying to a community starved for catalysts.

He did not announce an IPO, a holder reward, or any concrete mechanism. Ripple equity and XRP remain legally separate assets. The most realistic benefit to XRP holders is still indirect utility, not equity. In a June 2026 interview on the…
