Hey everyone, I’ve been reading up on MEXC and trying to figure out how it really operates. From what I can see in public records, it’s a Seychelles-based crypto exchange offering spot trading, futures, staking, and other DeFi-like products. It seems to have strong security measures like multi-signature wallets and encryption, and I haven’t found any major hacks reported since 2023.
What stands out, though, is the regulatory side. It doesn’t appear to be licensed in major jurisdictions like the US, UK, or Canada, and I saw that its Estonian payment entity lost its license in 2023. Regulators from multiple countries have issued warnings, which makes me wonder about what kind of protections are actually available if something goes wrong.
I also noticed that a lot of user complaints talk about frozen accounts, blocked withdrawals, and slow support. The way risk controls are applied seems opaque, especially for accounts that show unusual trading activity or big gains. People mention long delays even after providing documents, which makes me curious about how these policies actually work in practice.
On the other hand, MEXC has a wide token selection, access to new tokens early, and advanced features like copy-trading. It’s kind of confusing because it has these functional tools and a technical infrastructure, but the user experience seems very unpredictable. I’m wondering if some of these issues are more about high volume and automated systems rather than intentional policy, but it’s hard to tell from outside.
Has anyone here dealt with these kinds of account freezes or risk control policies? How did you navigate them? I’m trying to understand whether these are just growing pains for a global platform or something that should really make you cautious before putting serious money in.
It would be great to hear personal experiences or thoughts on whether using MEXC is more suited for active, short-term trading rather than long-term holding. I’m also interested in how people manage risk when the support channels aren’t very responsive.
