<p>In response to the <a href="https://x.com/txsequencer/status/179307923458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">escalating rumors</a>, Bybit moved swiftly to address the situation. On May 23, Ben Zhou, the CEO of Bybit, took to X to categorically refute the insolvency claims. Zhou assured the community that the rumors were entirely baseless and provided concrete evidence to support his statement. He shared links to <a href="https://www.bybit.com/app/user/reserve-ratio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bybit’s proof-of-reserves (PoR)</a> and a Nansen dashboard, displaying all of Bybit’s wallets and total assets.</p> 
<p>The PoR provided by Bybit is a critical piece of evidence that dispels the insolvency rumors. It demonstrates that Bybit holds assets worth more than 100% of user deposits, ensuring that the exchange can fully cover all user withdrawals at any time.</p>
