Introduction: An Exchange That Trades Anonymity for Security and Product Power for Trust In our first 47 installments, we examined a series of exchanges, from HashKey to Bitfinex. In Issue #48, were taking a closer look at one of the most unusual players in the entire crypto industry: MEXC, also known as MXC or “Macha.” When it comes to product offerings, MEXC has become something of a benchmark in the crypto world: founded in 2018, with more than 40 million users worldwide, over 3,000 listed tokens, zero maker fees, leverage of up to 500x, and a reputation for being one of the fastest exchanges to list new tokens. It frequently opens centralized exchange (CEX) trading for projects just hours after they launch on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Sounds like a degen traders paradise, doesnt it? But theres another side to the story. The UKs Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has issued a warning. The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM) has flagged the platform as non-compliant. Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) has initiated enforcement action. Dubais Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has imposed a fine. Japans Financial Services Agency (FSA) has issued warnings. South Koreas Financial Services Commission (FSC) has taken steps that resulted in the

Introduction: The Other Side of a “Compliance Star” In the first 46 installments, we investigated a range of exchanges, from HashKey to Bitfinex. For Episode 47, were taking a look at one of the most Hollywood-style names in crypto: Crypto.com. Its résumé in compliance and marketing is almost unmatched: founded in 2016, with more than 140 million users worldwide; one of the first major global crypto-asset service providers to obtain a MiCA license covering the European Union; an SEC investigation that ended with no enforcement action; more than 100 regulatory approvals; a Maltese MiCA license; dual CFTC registrations as a Designated Contract Market (DCM) and Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO); FINRA-registered broker-dealer status; a $700 million deal in 2021 to secure the naming rights to the Los Angeles Lakers‘ home arena; Matt Damon’s “Fortune Favors the Brave” campaign; and sponsorships of Formula 1 and the UEFA Champions League. Sounds like a globally compliant crypto super app, right? But there is another side to the story. Crypto.com has a Trustpilot score of just 2/5, with 72% of ratings being one star. Numerous users complain about sudden account restrictions, funds they can see but cannot access, scripted customer support responses, and cases that remain unresolved for weeks

Introduction: A Veteran Exchange That Refuses to Die In our first 45 installments, we investigated a range of exchanges, from HashKey to BingX. For Episode 46, were examining a true fossil from the early days of crypto: Bitfinex. Its résumé puts it among the industrys most established players: founded in 2012, 14 years of operating history, one of the worlds earliest cryptocurrency exchanges, a sister company of Tether, the issuer of USDT, and the legal claimant to 94,636 BTC seized by the U.S. government. Its parent company, iFinex, operates both Bitfinex and Tether. It holds a full Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license in El Salvador and supports more than 270 cryptocurrencies. Sounds like a seasoned, technically sophisticated exchange, doesnt it? But theres another side to the story. In 2016, Bitfinex suffered a hack that resulted in the theft of 119,755 BTC, worth nearly $10 billion at current prices. In 2021, the CFTC fined it for illegally offering off-exchange retail commodity transactions. That same year, the New York Attorney General fined Bitfinex and Tether $18.5 million over allegations of misrepresenting their reserves. Its Trustpilot rating is just 1.6/5, with users complaining about withdrawals being locked for five days and customer support requiring two
