FinCEN Orders US Financial Cut-Off of MEXC Global Over Alleged Illicit Flows
On 6 November 2026 the U.S. Department of the Treasury said FinCEN issued an order, as part of Operation Economic Outcast, that effectively cuts MEXC Global off from the U.S. financial system. Per Treasury’s press release, FinCEN alleges MEXC Global is a convertible virtual currency exchanger that facilitated at least $16 billion in illicit transactions connected to Iranian, North Korean, and Russian sanctions evasion, as well as cybercrime, between May 2021 and May 2026, including nearly $1.5 billion linked to Russian sanctions evasion and continued processing involving sanctioned Garantex and its successor Grinex as recently as June 2026. Those figures and characterisations are FinCEN/Treasury allegations and findings as stated in the release — not independently verified claims by bitqik.
Treasury says the order, under section 9714(a) of the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act, prohibits U.S. financial institutions from engaging in any transmittal of funds from or to MEXC Global, takes effect 30 days after Federal Register publication, and does not modify existing Bank Secrecy Act or OFAC obligations. Violations may bring civil or criminal penalties.
In an official announcement dated 7 November 2026, MEXC said it is aware of the FinCEN order, is reviewing it with legal and compliance teams, that “MEXC is operating normally, and user assets remain secure,” that it intends to engage constructively with FinCEN and other authorities, and that it has begun an independent review of its AML and sanctions controls. “Operating normally” and asset-security wording are MEXC’s company claims.
