Regulators and courts
- 2026 · Regulator action (Seychelles Financial Services Authority): In a press release dated 30 Sep 2026 the FSA said it had taken enforcement action against MX Global Ltd, which it identified as the entity operating the MEXC exchange without the licence required under the Virtual Asset Service Providers Act, 2024. The specific measures were not confirmed from the text reviewed, so type is null. source
- 2025 · Regulator warning (Netherlands AFM): The AFM publicly warned consumers in September 2025 that MEXC Global provides crypto-asset services in the Netherlands without the licence required under MiCAR. This is a public warning; it does not match any schema type, so type is null. source

About this review
Blocklr has no affiliate, advertising or sponsorship deal with MEXC or any other platform, so nothing here was paid for. Scores come from the rules in our review methodology. A fact we could not confirm scores as the lowest tier, which can make a score lower than it deserves. If something is wrong or out of date, tell us and we will check the source and correct it.
