MEXC, a rapidly growing global cryptocurrency exchange, has appointed Vugar Usi as its Chief Operating Officer, marking a strategic move to elevate its global presence and redefine user-centric crypto trading. Usi brings over 15 years of experience from roles at Fortune 500 companies and Web3 platforms, most recently serving as COO at Bitget, where he helped scale it to the world's fourth-largest exchange with over 120 million users.
In his new role, Usi will lead global business transformation, operational excellence, and strategic market expansion, focusing on regions including Eastern Europe, Turkey, CIS, and Latin America. He will also oversee policy, regulatory, and compliance initiatives as MEXC expands worldwide. Cecilia Hush, Chief Strategy Officer at MEXC, stated that this appointment represents a "strategic inflection point" aimed at raising industry standards rather than incremental growth.
MEXC has grown to over 40 million users across 170+ markets, leveraging a zero-fee trading model and deep liquidity. Usi expressed enthusiasm for joining at a pivotal time, emphasizing MEXC's mission-driven approach and commitment to user empowerment through operational excellence and regulatory compliance.
