Bitcoin Sistemi, the sole outlet supplied on this story, reports that the US Treasury Department blocked cryptocurrency exchange MEXC Global from accessing the US financial system. The outlet attributes the announcement to Treasury officials and says the action followed an assessment that MEXC facilitated illicit financial activity.
According to Bitcoin Sistemi, officials said the exchange facilitated at least $16 billion in illicit financial transactions connected to efforts to circumvent sanctions involving Iran, North Korea, and Russia. The report also identifies the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, a unit within Treasury, as announcing the action. No additional reporting was supplied to independently confirm the stated scale or allegations.
The enforcement mechanism described is access to the US financial system, rather than a reported shutdown of MEXC Global’s global operations or a disclosed criminal prosecution. The available coverage does not specify which services would be restricted, how the restriction would be implemented, or whether the exchange disputed the announcement.
