MEXC
REGULATORY STATUS 2026

Overview

MEXC is not on the register, and goes further than simple absence: the Dutch regulator AFM has flagged it on the ESMA warning list of firms providing crypto services without the required authorisation. That is a regulator naming it, not an omission.

Regulatory Status

MEXC is not on the ESMA CASP register, and its position is worse than simple absence: the Dutch regulator AFM has flagged MEXC on the ESMA warning list of firms providing crypto services without the required authorisation.

Timeline

What EEA users were told

There is no authorisation notice to report because there is no authorisation. A regulator has instead named the firm. That is a stronger signal than absence from a register: absence can mean an application is in progress or that the firm never targeted the EU, whereas a warning-list entry is a supervisor making a finding.

Security & Custody

No MiCA client-asset protections apply. A warning-list entry means a national competent authority has identified the firm as operating without the required authorisation.

Where it stands

Not authorised, and named by a supervisor. Of the three exchanges in this section, this is the most adverse regulatory position.
