Mutsamudu, Comoros, September 16, 2026 – MEXC, a pioneer in zero-fee digital asset trading, released its July–August 2026 security report. The report shows that MEXC successfully intercepted all 215 reports involving risky funds during the period, covering approximately 38.66 million USDT. The total balance of Futures Insurance Fund rose to 792 million USDT. Meanwhile, the reserve ratios for BTC, ETH, USDT, and USDC all remained above 100%.
In July and August 2026, the crypto industry recorded 184 security incidents, with reported losses totaling approximately $535 million. Phishing and fraud incidents, as well as endpoint and supply chain security incidents, accounted for approximately 48% of the total. At the same time, a growing number of attackers are using AI to automatically generate phishing content and help write malware, increasing the effectiveness of their attacks. With the increasing diversity of attack methods, rapid identification and interception of risky funds as well as strengthening cross-platform investigations have become increasingly important to reduce user losses.
All 215 risk fund reports successfully intercepted, covering 38.66 million USDT
In July and August, MEXC assisted in 215 reports involving stolen or fraud-related funds entering the platform. All 215 cases were successfully intercepted, covering 38,655,490 USDT. Of these cases, 42 involved assistance with judicial freezes. Compared to the previous reporting period, the number of successfully intercepted cases increased by approximately 2,971%, while the value of intercepted funds increased by approximately 12,646%.
In tracking and managing at-risk funds, MEXC shared suspicious addresses with key industry players, helped identify fund flows, and supported verification and freezing procedures under established joint investigative cooperation procedures and with law enforcement.
Over 20,000 risky accounts identified and restricted, with over 600,000 USDT in misdirected assets returned
In identifying account risks, MEXC identified and restricted 20,752 accounts associated with risky activities during the period, an increase of 118.03% compared to the previous period. The platform identified 5,288 at-risk groups, up 20.35%. By region of origin, these groups were primarily concentrated in the Commonwealth of Independent States (1,803), Nigeria (1,099), and Indonesia (976).
For user asset recovery, MEXC manually processed 818 misdirected asset return requests, returning the equivalent of 602,225 USDT, an increase of 75.31% compared to the previous period.
Futures insurance fund reaches 792 million USDT, strengthening protection against negative balance risk
As of September 1, 2026, the total balance of the MEXC Futures Insurance Fund reached 791,696,422 USDT, an increase of 5.44% compared to the previous period.
The Futures Insurance Fund covers negative balances that may arise during liquidation, providing a risk buffer in extreme market conditions and helping to reduce the likelihood of automatic deleveraging (ADL). When a liquidated position is closed at a price above the bankruptcy price, the remaining funds are credited to the fund. Users can check the balance in real time on the MEXC Proof of Trust page.
Reserve ratios for four major assets remain above 100%, with BTC at around 288%
Based on the reserves evidence disclosed for this period, MEXC maintained reserve ratios above 100% for four major assets, as follows:
- Bitcoin (BTC): reserve ratio of approximately 288%, with total portfolio assets of 12,312.75 BTC versus 4,282.20 BTC in user assets;
- Ethereum (ETH): reserve ratio of approximately 113%, with total wallet assets of 66,227.79 ETH;
- USDT: Reserve ratio of approximately 115%, with total portfolio assets of approximately 1.940 billion USDT;
- USDC: Reserve ratio of approximately 114%, with total portfolio assets of approximately 194.85 million USDC.
The on-chain addresses corresponding to these reserve assets were disclosed, allowing users to verify through the Merkle tree whether their individual account balances were included in this proof of reserves.
As an additional layer of protection for user assets, the MEXC Guarding Fund maintains a dual reserve structure of USDT and BTC: USDT provides immediate liquidity support, while BTC serves as a long-term reserve asset through market cycles. MEXC plans to expand the fund from $100 million to $500 million, continuing to strengthen protection of user assets. The relevant detention addresses are listed below:

MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said: “Trust is the true reserve currency of this industry. Protecting user assets means acting quickly as soon as a risk emerges, while giving users something they can verify for themselves, not just our word. We will continue to strengthen our ability to identify and intercept at-risk funds, deepen cooperation between platforms and with law enforcement, and help affected users recover their losses where possible. Our bi-weekly safety reports are part of this commitment, helping to measure and track our safety performance over time. »
