Enhanced Risk-Control Framework Helps MEXC Cut Organized Crime by 36% in Q3 2025

Global cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has released its Q3 2025 Risk Control Performance Review, indicating a 36% reduction in organized crime cases. The report highlights the efficacy of MEXC’s compliance framework, advanced risk control systems, and collaborations with law enforcement agencies in addressing crypto-related financial crime.

$4.97 million USDT in illicit funds were frozen, and 48 fraud cases intercepted from July to August 2025 using advanced security protocols. 45,513 organized crime cases were recorded in Q3 2025, marking a 36% decline, with over 70,000 illicit activities prevented since the enhanced Risk Control initiative's inception in Q2 2025. 593 assistance requests and 121 official freeze requests were processed in collaboration with law enforcement agencies. $900,000 USDT of user assets were manually recovered by MEXC’s customer support. MEXC received recognition at ICFC 2025 (Seoul) for its cross-border AML cooperation framework developed with Transight. AI-enhanced risk control systems and joint law enforcement training across Southeast Asia, the CIS, and Latin America improved investigative responses and reduced fraudulent transaction success rates.

MEXC has prevented over 70,000 illicit activity cases since initiating this effort, including large-scale fraud syndicates, laundering attempts, and organized scams. The company also detected 3,097 fraudulent liveness KYC attempts, a 15% increase compared to Q2, amidst the rise of threats from AI-generated deepfakes and identity spoofing tools.

Active Collaboration with Law Enforcement

In Q3 2025, MEXC handled 593 assistance requests and 121 official freeze requests, all supported by law enforcement documentation. This cooperation resulted in faster asset recovery and improved investigative outcomes, enhancing transparency in cross-jurisdictional enforcement.

MEXC’s security protocols intercepted 48 fraud cases and froze approximately $4.97 million USDT in illicit funds during July–August. The platform also restricted over 17,000 collusive accounts and more than 2,000 bot-trading accounts to maintain market integrity and fair trading conditions.

These initiatives earned MEXC recognition at the 3rd International Counter-Fraud Conference (ICFC 2025) in Seoul, where it showcased cross-border AML cooperation frameworks developed with Transight.

The customer support team also manually recovered over $900,000 USDT mistakenly sent by users to incorrect wallet addresses, reflecting MEXC’s user protection priorities.

Regional Outcomes and Key Improvements

MEXC’s regionalized risk control framework, introduced earlier this year, continued to deliver results in Q3 2025, particularly in markets previously targeted by organized fraud networks.

South Asia remained a focus after elevated risk levels in Q1 and Q2. Intensified investigations, coordination with local authorities, and new user education initiatives resulted in a 35% decline in organized incidents, with a 34% reduction in the Indian market. In Southeast Asia, scam compounds and cross-border payment fraud cases fell by 59% in Q3, with Indonesia experiencing a 72% reduction after enhanced withdrawal verification and anti-collusion account screening were introduced. The CIS region registered a 31% decrease in criminal activity linked to account collusion and illicit arbitrage, following the deployment of transaction-pattern analytics and expanded cooperation with regional enforcement bodies.

These results underscore the strength of MEXC’s multi-layered security system, which combines early data analysis, real-time monitoring, rapid intervention, and ongoing user education. In response to an improved risk landscape and community feedback, MEXC has shortened its risk control restriction period from 365 days to 180 days to balance strong protection with greater flexibility for legitimate users.

Joint Training and Strategic Investments

MEXC’s compliance officers completed advanced joint training with law enforcement and regulators across Southeast Asia, the CIS, and Latin America. This training enhanced investigative coordination, data exchange, and the use of AI-assisted forensic tools.

MEXC continued expanding its AI-driven risk control model, integrating predictive analytics and behavioral detection systems, reducing fraudulent transaction success rates, and improving response speed during live security incidents.
