MEXC Launches $100 Million Guardian Fund to Protect Users

MEXC, a prominent global cryptocurrency exchange, has released its official May–June 2025 Bimonthly Report, highlighting new security measures, internal risk monitoring data, and significant transparency updates. The report underscores MEXC’s dedication to protecting user assets and upholding institutional-grade operational standards.

The report includes several key disclosures. Firstly, it confirms the current key wallet holdings, providing publicly verifiable data to reinforce asset safety and user trust. Secondly, MEXC has introduced a $100 million Guardian Fund, an insurance mechanism designed to cover user losses in unforeseen incidents such as protocol-level hacks and critical exploits. This fund is now live and aims to protect users against major threats, including large-scale hacks and serious system vulnerabilities. The exchange has also expanded the financial coverage of its Futures Insurance Fund, which is aimed at mitigating forced liquidation losses, reflecting MEXC’s active protection of derivatives traders. Additionally, new updates have been introduced for refund processing related to user errors, including wrong network deposits. Between May and June, MEXC successfully intercepted over 2.2 million USDT in stolen or hacked funds across 41 user cases.

MEXC ensures that all user assets are fully redeemable at any time by maintaining over-collateralized reserves. As of June 26, 2025, the Proof of Reserves (PoR) shows the platform holds enough assets to cover all user deposits. Key wallet holdings as of June 26 include 4,08 million BTC, 69,234 ETH, 2.32 billion USDT, and 72.3 million USDC. The launch of the $100 million Guardian Fund is a key initiative prioritizing trading security at MEXC. This fund includes covering compensation when MEXC’s systems are compromised and protection from losses due to critical technical problems. To promote industry transparency, MEXC is publicly disclosing all Guardian Fund wallet addresses, allowing anyone to verify the fund’s balance and transactions on the blockchain, ensuring openness and building user trust.

MEXC continues its active fight against fraud through ongoing risk control monitoring. In its recent Bimonthly Report, MEXC disclosed that 46,311 suspicious user accounts linked to fraudulent activities were identified and restricted, involving 6,184 fraud syndicates. The largest sources of these activities were traced to CIS, India, and Indonesia. These measures enhance security and build community trust. According to the Report, MEXC’s Futures Insurance Fund has paid out over $559 million to compensate traders as of June 30, 2025, a substantial contribution to preserving market stability and unprecedented user protection. The initiative aims to ensure a safer trading environment and support traders by covering losses that might occur during forced liquidations and mitigating financial risks.

MEXC also reported successful user asset recovery efforts, with 2,428 cases of mistaken deposits resolved by its dedicated customer support team, resulting in the recovery of 1.1 million USDT for users. Since some errors may occur accidentally on the users’ side, asset recovery support plays a vital role in ensuring peace of mind. Users can request the return of funds sent to the wrong address, involving unsupported tokens, or containing incorrect memo/tag information. As part of its comprehensive strategy of maintaining platform security, MEXC is constantly combating hacks and illicit transactions. In May-June 2025, the platform processed 709 assistance requests. MEXC efficiently resolves two main types of cases: user asset theft, where users request urgent account freezes, and law enforcement-initiated cases, where users or law enforcement agencies have launched official proceedings. During this period, MEXC handled 124 official freeze requests with official law enforcement documentation. In total, 41 cases were successfully intercepted — covering both user asset theft incidents and enforcement-driven asset freezes.

Additionally, the exchange is taking action to address reports of stolen or hacked funds being deposited onto their platform and is constantly monitoring suspicious activity and freezing affected accounts. These ongoing initiatives reflect MEXC’s broader commitment to proactive security, regulatory cooperation, and industry-leading transparency. By combining over-collateralized reserves, responsive asset protection mechanisms, and robust compliance infrastructure, MEXC continues to build a trusted environment for global crypto traders. The exchange remains focused on delivering secure, resilient, and user-first trading experiences — aligned with its vision to raise industry standards and support the long-term growth of digital assets worldwide.
