Data reviewed byJason Lee About us → Key takeaways
- BTCC’s proof-of-reserves report for September 2026 shows reserve ratios of BTC 137%, ETH 147%, USDT 165%. No third-party auditor is named, so the figures are the exchange’s own disclosure.
- Licenses and registrations: 3 recorded (United States, Canada, Lithuania / EU). The median across 17 exchanges with confirmed data is 2.
- KYC: not required to trade.
- Security incidents: not confirmed — we record an incident history (or its absence) only from an official source, and none was found.
