The crypto industry just witnessed a major regulatory disruption. FinCEN officially designated MEXC as a Primary Money Laundering Concern. Consequently, major cryptocurrency platforms are taking immediate and severe action. Exchanges like Binance and Redotpay have issued official notices to halt all deposits and withdrawals linked to MEXC.
Binance Enforces Strict Restrictions on MEXC
Binance acted swiftly following the FinCEN designation. The exchange announced it will no longer process transactions involving MEXC or its service providers. Therefore, Binance strongly advises users not to send, receive, or engage in transactions with these entities.
Furthermore, Binance has outlined strict system rules and penalties. First, the platform will automatically decline any request to send funds from a Binance account to a MEXC entity. Second, Binance will temporarily withhold any deposits received from MEXC. Subsequently, these withheld inbound funds will undergo a rigorous compliance review.
As a result, impacted users face severe risks. Transferring funds from flagged entities constitutes a breach of Binance’s Terms of Use. Consequently, Binance may restrict or completely offboard accounts that violate these rules during the compliance review. Users dealing with these issues can contact Binance Support, which remains available 24/7.
Broader Market Impact and User Warnings
Binance is not alone in this crackdown. Redotpay has also issued a similar warning notice. Meanwhile, users across various other services report disrupted transactions. Many platforms are declining transfers entirely. In other cases, services are actively questioning users about their MEXC-linked transactions.
Therefore, you must exercise extreme caution. Security notices advise against accepting on-chain transactions from unknown senders. Similarly, you should never make withdrawals to unverified receiving wallets. Always verify the source and destination of your crypto funds.

The transaction ban applies to a wide network of associated companies. Specifically, Binance will block transactions involving the following entities:
