WHAT HAPPENED:
FinCEN says MEXC facilitated at least $16 BILLION in illicit transactions from May 2021-May 2026【5617397683010952869†L24-L25】:
- $1.5B tied to Russian sanctions evasion【5617397683010952869†L77-L78】
- $1B direct deals with 40+ Iranian exchanges【5617397683010952869†L80-L81】
- $22M linked to Iran Central Bank & IRGC Qods Force【5617397683010952869†L152-L153】
- Still trading with sanctioned Garantex/Grinex in June 2026【5617397683010952869†L26-L27】
IMPACT:
1. Effective 30 days after Federal Register publication【5617397683010952869†L14-L15】
2. US banks banned from sending/receiving funds to MEXC【5617397683010952869†L18-L19】

4. France ops winding down, users moved to Kraken【5617397683010952869†L178-L179】
MEXC RESPONSE:
"We are reviewing with legal & compliance teams. Operations normal, assets secure"【5617397683010952869†L56-L57】

1. Part of "Operation Economic Outcast" targeting Iran/Russia crypto rails【5617397683010952869†L14-L15】
2. First 9714(a) order used on major exchange = precedent for others
3. $MX token + MEXC users: Withdrawal routes via US banks will close
This is NOT an OFAC sanction yet【5617397683010952869†L149-L150】. But FinCEN ban = death by banking.
