Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, has stated that the company has no plans to implement proof of reserves.
Armstrong explains that Coinbase follows other methods to ensure the safety of customer funds, such as transparent transactions on the blockchain.
For institutional clients, trades may not be settled immediately on the blockchain, but Armstrong reassures that they are eventually settled on-chain.
Coinbase argues that proof of reserves is not necessary as the company undergoes annual audits by Deloitte and follows strict rules as a public company.
