MEXC began strengthening its risk control system in Q2 2025, and these efforts delivered robust results in combating organised crime during the third quarter, with cases continuing their downward trajectory. Overall, there were 45,513 cases of coordinated fraud attempts, representing a significant 36% decrease from the previous quarter, demonstrating the sustained effectiveness of our risk control strategies.
During this period, the compliance team also observed 3,097 fraudulent liveness cases for KYC, representing a 15% increase. As technology continues to advance, fraudulent liveness attempts leveraging tools such as deepfake technology have become a growing concern and remain a key focus area for MEXC’s compliance efforts.
To combat this, MEXC, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, announced that its compliance team has completed an advanced joint training program with law enforcement and regulatory officials. This programme was conducted across Southeast Asia, the CIS, and Latin America—regions with the highest rates of crypto-related scams and financial crime—and further strengthens the company’s ability to detect and block illicit activity on its platform.
Targeted Regional Strategies & Outcomes
MEXC has adopted more targeted strategies focusing on high-risk regions such as South Asia and Southeast Asia. These layered measures include:
- Early Analysis: Blocking suspicious account transactions through pre-emptive risk modelling.
- Real-time Monitoring: Upgrading our monitoring mechanisms for instant threat detection.
- Security Intervention: Direct intervention by our specialist security team.
- Extensive Education: Delivering comprehensive user education and warnings.
Emerging Markets & Key Wins
The Southeast Asia and CIS markets were areas of key focus for the third quarter, both recording a reduction in incidents for the first time.
- The CIS region saw a significant drop of 31%.
- The Southeast Asia region achieved an even greater reduction of 59%, marking the initial effectiveness of our risk containment efforts.
- Breaking down the Southeast Asian market, the overall case count declined by 59%, with Indonesia specifically recording a substantial 72% decrease, although it still accounts for 50% of the total Southeast Asian market share.
South Asia Market Performance
According to reports from the first and second quarters, the South Asian market was identified as the area most affected by organised risk control incidents. Following a focused crackdown in the second quarter, related cases had already dropped significantly.
For the third quarter, this targeted approach, combined with user education and promotion, resulted in a substantial 35% decline in incidents across the South Asian market, with the Indian market specifically recording a 34% reduction.
Strategic Technology Investment & Risk Control updates
By prioritising our AI risk control model and pre-emptive strategy mechanisms, we successfully intercepted a large volume of potential high-risk behaviour. This reduced the success rate of suspicious transactions, establishing a more robust trading environment for our platform users.
Following a series of upgraded risk-control measures, cases involving coordinated user groups have dropped significantly. In light of this progress, we have also updated our risk-control policy: starting from October 13th, the maximum duration of account restrictions for newly detected cases has been shortened from 365 days to 180 days.
