MEXC Deploys 1,000 BTC to Strategic Reserves in March–April Security Report

Victoria, Seychelles, May 26, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has released its March–April bimonthly security report, including the strategic deployment of 1,000 BTC to its treasury reserves to strengthen user protection. Alongside this massive capital injection, the exchange continues to scale its compliance architecture to neutralize evolving market threats.

Intercepted 26,897 Accounts Linked to Organized Risk Activities

During this 60-day period, MEXC's security infrastructure intercepted and restricted 26,897 accounts tied to coordinated fraud—an 18.9% increase from the previous reporting cycle. Threat intelligence engines mapped 6,903 malicious syndicates (up 33.6%), with the heaviest concentrations emerging from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Indonesia, tracking 3,567 and 1,524 threat clusters respectively. All identified entities were subjected to immediate platform-wide bans to secure ecosystem liquidity and protect user capital.

Deploying On-Chain Intelligence to Immobilize Compromised Funds

By syndicating threat-linked wallet data with major industry partners, MEXC actively maps and disrupts illicit capital flows tied to theft and fraud, preemptively restricting assets before secondary transfers can happen. From March to April, the platform processed 254 cross-platform intelligence requests, including 50 law enforcement freeze mandates. Through this collaborative infrastructure, the exchange directly immobilized 17,084,031 USDT across 47 active threat cases—23 of which were executed via direct law enforcement intervention. All intelligence broadcasting and subsequent asset freezes were conducted in strict adherence to multi-jurisdictional laws, ensuring rapid response efficiency while maintaining absolute regulatory compliance.

Restoring Misdirected Capital: 863,127 USDT Recovered Across 819 Incidents

Between March to April, MEXC manually processed 819 erroneous deposit cases, recovering assets equivalent to 863,127 USDT. Each case underwent rigorous manual review, on-chain verification, and cross-chain tracking procedures to guarantee the precise and secure restitution of user capital.

Guardian Fund Adds 1,000 BTC Reserves

MEXC's deployment of the additional 1,000 BTC to its institutional reserves, has established a formalized dual-asset architecture for the Guardian Fund. This framework leverages USDT to guarantee immediate operational liquidity, while the Bitcoin tranche functions as a macroeconomic anchor to preserve capital across market cycles. Concurrently, MEXC has initiated a mandate to aggressively scale the fund's total capitalization from $100 million to $500 million over the next two years. To maintain absolute transparency, all institutional wallet addresses are fully public, enabling real-time, cryptographically verifiable proof of reserves.

Guardian Fund wallet addresses:

• USDT: https://etherscan.io/address/0x469AfE803C54A36674C55231489Cf4b61da8c1bC#tokentxns

• BTC: 1MDVjZdX8QD212pT8Z8EMP7DuFQHKqN3mx

Major Assets Maintain Overcollateralized Reserves, With BTC Reserve Ratio at 293.29%

During this reporting period, MEXC's major asset reserve ratios were as follows:

• Bitcoin (BTC): reserve ratio of 293.29%, with total wallet assets of 11,895.453 BTC covering user holdings of 4,055.818 BTC

• Ethereum (ETH): reserve ratio of 122.93%, with total wallet assets of 70,167.059 ETH

• USDT: reserve ratio of 116.92%, with total wallet assets of 2.442 billion USDT

• USDC: reserve ratio of 120.03%, with total wallet assets of 95.7287 million USDC

During the same period, the MEXC Futures Insurance Fund continued to operate normally, providing coverage for potential negative balance losses under extreme market conditions and reducing the impact of liability spillover on user assets. The fund balance remains publicly available in real time. Users can check the current balance of each trading pair on the MEXC Insurance Fund page.

MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said, "Trust must be supported by verifiable capital and transparent mechanisms. The expansion of the Guardian Fund and the addition of BTC reserves mark an important step in MEXC's continued development of user protection infrastructure. We aim to provide users with a higher level of security assurance and asset transparency as they participate in the market."

Looking ahead, MEXC will continue to disclose key data through its bimonthly security reports, covering risk interception, law enforcement cooperation, user asset recovery, and proof of reserves. Through on-chain verifiable reserves, standardized risk control procedures, and cross-platform collaboration, MEXC will continue to strengthen user asset protection.
