“Shiba is included in our Proof of Reserves because we hold customers’ balances 1:1. As a result, our Proof of Reserves is determined by our customers’ holdings.” 

It’s not surprising, he says, that retail-heavy exchanges will have a higher concentration of such tokens. Regardless, as an exchange, one’s main source of revenue is likely to be trading fees, so whether trading meme coins or more fundamentally sound assets, the business model persists.
