What Did The Audit Find?

According to WonderFi, Bitbuy and Coinberry meet and exceed their own mandates of requiring 95% and 80% of all customer assets to be in cold storage, respectively.

Also, all Bitbuy customer balances are accounted for, with 97.16% of all customer funds in a third-party insured custodian account with BitGo Trust Company, Inc. Bitbuy's operational hot wallet balances account for the remainder of 2.84% of customer balances.

All Coinberry customer balances are accounted for, with 96.28% of all customer funds in a third-party insured custodian account with Gemini Trust Company, LLC. Coinberry's operational hot wallet balances account for 3.72% of customer balances.

Both Coinberry and Bitbuy were scored as "low-risk" platforms during an operational assessment that reviewed business activities, company registration, KYC/AML policies, and a number of other criteria.

At least nine cryptocurrency exchanges have come forward to provide proof of fund reserves as the market comes to terms with insolvency fears on the heels of FTX’s native token FTT FTT/USD falling off a cliff and leading to the bankruptcy of FTX.
