MEXC flagged by US Treasury for $16.7B in suspicious transactions.

Not stolen funds—just the scale of what regulators are digging into. But here's the thing: exchanges don't die from bear markets. They die from trust collapse.

CEX life is brutal. You hand over your assets, and all you get back are question marks.

When the platform fumbles, who's left holding the bag? Who's accountable for fund safety? The exchange controls your money, but you don't control shit.

This is why custody risk will never go away in crypto. CEX convenience = CEX exposure.
