MEXC Ventures Invests $200M in Triv to Boost Southeast Asia Crypto Expansion

MEXC Ventures, the investment arm of global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC, has made a strategic investment in Triv, Indonesia’s leading crypto exchange, at a $200 million valuation. The investment underscores MEXC’s broader ambition to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia, a region experiencing rapid digital asset adoption [1]. Triv, established in 2015, has emerged as a market leader in Indonesia with over 3 million registered users and offers more than 1,000 crypto assets, including support for U.S. stock market products and a diverse range of cryptocurrencies [2].

Triv’s operations are fully licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI), making it one of the most compliant and trusted platforms in the region. The exchange holds comprehensive licenses for spot, staking, and futures trading and has maintained a flawless operational record for over a decade [3]. The investment from MEXC is expected to enhance Triv’s product offerings, liquidity, and innovation, while also supporting the growth of its affiliated media platform, CryptoWave Media.

Gabriel Rey, CEO and Founder of Triv, emphasized that the partnership will allow Triv to expand its coin offerings and introduce more innovative products for users. He also highlighted the importance of maintaining CryptoWave Media’s position as the top crypto media platform in Indonesia [4]. Leo Zhao, Investment Director of MEXC Ventures, noted that Indonesia is a dynamic market for digital assets and that Triv’s reputation for compliance, security, and user trust aligns with MEXC’s long-term vision of supporting innovative blockchain projects [5].

This move aligns with MEXC’s broader strategy of geographic diversification, targeting high-growth markets like Indonesia. As one of the top crypto platforms in the country, MEXC offers access to over 1,700 cryptocurrencies for local users. The partnership with Triv is expected to further boost MEXC’s market presence and reinforce its role as a trendsetter in the industry [6].

MEXC Ventures operates under a comprehensive investment strategy that includes support for L1/L2 ecosystems, strategic investments, M&A, and incubation. The fund has previously invested in blockchain projects like TON and Aptos and continues to focus on initiatives with long-term potential [7].
