The official website of Mazars reveals that they have completely dissolved Mazars Veritas, a division devoted to auditing bitcoin exchanges. Mazars developed the tool to increase trust and transparency in the digital asset industry by using the Silver Sixpence Merkle Tree Generating tool as a supplement to proof-of-reserve reports.
Read CRYPTONEWSLAND onThe discovery came shortly after Mazars confirmed on December 7 that Binance has control over 575,742 Bitcoin belonging to its customers, which at the time of writing were valued approximately $9.7 billion. The report has since been deleted from the website of Mazars.
Furthermore, Bloomberg reported on December 16 that Mazars ceased doing proof-of-reserve audits for bitcoin companies. Other auditing firms, including FTX’s auditor Armanino, reportedly ceased auditing practices.
Several competing cryptocurrency exchanges, like KuCoin and Crypto.com, have followed Binance’s example by collaborating with Mazars for their reserve reports in the past weeks.
Mazars is widely recognized as the accounting agency for the corporation of former U.S. President Donald Trump. Late in November, the auditing firm was designated as the official auditor for Binance’s proof-of-reserve upgrades.
