Kraken’s Proof of Reserves Audit Now Supports $XRP and $ADA

These seven cryptoassets are $BTC, $ETH, $USDT, $USDC, $XRP, $ADA, and $DOT.

This audit verified that Kraken “securely held” user funds — held in the above seven digital assets — whether on the exchange or held in its (on-chain and off-chain) staking services.
