How this score was built

Each indicator scores 2, 1 or 0. A pillar is the points earned over the points available; the overall score is the weighted sum. Every source below is public — check any of them yourself.

BingX publishes Merkle-tree proof of reserves every month, with snapshots dated back through 2025 and verification code available in a public repository. What we could not establish is its regulatory authorisation, which is the heaviest indicator in the rubric.

Our assessment

BingX publishes Merkle-tree proof of reserves every month as individually dated records, with the verification code in a public repository. That is a better reserve practice than several higher-scoring venues offer. It is held back by two absences we could not resolve: no authorisation we could establish, and no fee page at a conventional address.

Reserve reporting done properly

Each monthly snapshot is published as its own dated, addressable article, and we could follow an unbroken run from late 2025 through mid-2026. The verifier page is public and the verification code sits in an open repository, so a customer is not asked to trust an in-house checker. On method and record-keeping this is a genuinely good programme.

What is missing

We could not establish regulatory authorisations from public sources, and we could not find a fee schedule at a conventional public address — four of five cost indicators score zero as a result. Those two gaps account for almost all of the distance between BingX and the top of this table. Neither is a statement that the underlying facts are bad; both are statements that a reader cannot check them.

Reading the score honestly

A 5.6 here does not mean the exchange is twice as risky as one scoring 9.7. It means roughly half of what our rubric asks about could not be verified from the public record. If BingX published a licence reference and a fee page at stable addresses, the same platform would score in the eights without changing anything about how it operates.

Who it suits

BingX fits traders who value reserve verification and are willing to check pricing inside the platform. Readers who need a documented regulatory position, or who compare fees before signing up, should look higher in this table.

Frequently asked

How often does BingX publish proof of reserves?

Monthly, as individually dated snapshots, with an unbroken run visible from late 2025 through mid-2026.

Can I verify my own BingX balance?

Yes — through the public verifier page, with the verification code published in an open repository.

Is BingX regulated?

We could not establish authorisations from public sources at this check. That is recorded as unproven rather than as a statement that none exist.
