Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has released its March–April bimonthly security report, revealing the strategic deployment of 1,000 BTC to its institutional treasury reserves. This move formalizes a dual-asset structure for the exchange’s Guardian Fund, with USDT used to ensure immediate operational liquidity, while the Bitcoin tranche serves as a macroeconomic anchor to preserve capital across market cycles. The exchange simultaneously announced a mandate to aggressively scale the fund’s total capitalization from $100 million to $500 million over the next two years, with all institutional wallet addresses made fully public for cryptographically verifiable proof of reserves.
The report detailed robust security measures: 26,897 accounts linked to coordinated fraud were intercepted and restricted within 60 days, an 18.9% increase from the previous reporting cycle. Threat intelligence engines mapped 6,903 malicious syndicates (up 33.6%), with heaviest concentrations in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Indonesia, tracking 3,567 and 1,524 threat clusters respectively. Over the period, MEXC handled 254 intelligence requests and 50 law enforcement freeze mandates, leading to the freezing of 17,084,031 USDT across 47 threat cases, 23 of which involved direct law enforcement action. Additionally, the platform resolved 819 deposit errors, recovering 863,127 USDT through manual and on-chain checks.
By combining heightened security enforcement with a growing Bitcoin-backed reserve, MEXC aims to reinforce user asset protection and ecosystem liquidity, positioning the Guardian Fund as a cornerstone of trust for its 40 million users worldwide.
