Binance Pauses MEXC Transfers After US Regulator Cuts Off Exchange
Binance will reject withdrawals sent to MEXC and hold deposits coming from it for review. The move follows a US Treasury action, as FinCEN tied MEXC to $16 billion in suspicious flows and cut it off from the US financial system. Traders using MEXC or moving funds between exchanges may face delays and tighter scrutiny.
Why it matters
- Binance is blocking withdrawals to MEXC and holding deposits from it for review.
- FinCEN linked MEXC to $16 billion in suspicious flows, a sign of heavier regulatory pressure.
- Being cut off from the US financial system could limit MEXC's access to US banking channels.
What to watch next
Watch whether other exchanges follow Binance's lead and whether FinCEN or MEXC announces further steps.
