FinCEN bars US firms from transmitting funds to or from crypto exchange MEXC Global

FinCEN has used its Combating Russian Money Laundering Act authority to sever MEXC Global from the US financial system, finding the Seychelles exchange funneled funds for Russian sanctions evaders, Iran, the DPRK and cybercriminals. This segment covers what the order prohibits, the evidence FinCEN cites, the CVC-specific compliance carve-outs, and when the ban bites.

  • The order takes effect 10 December 2026 with no cessation date and prohibits any covered US financial institution from any transmittal of funds, including CVC, to or from MEXC Global.
  • FinCEN found MEXC Global facilitated at least USD 16.7 billion in likely illicit activity between May 2021 and May 2026, including nearly USD 1.5 billion linked to Russian sanctions evasion and USD 232 million in direct transactions with US-, EU- and UK-sanctioned entities.
  • FinCEN cites dealings with sanctioned Russian exchangers Garantex (roughly USD 129 million after designation) and Grinex, the A7 Network (at least USD 26 million), nearly USD 2 billion connected to Iran, and USD 1.99 billion tied to illicit cyber actors.
  • The order acknowledges technological limits on rejecting incoming CVC and permits covered institutions to exercise discretion, while leaving BSA SAR filing and OFAC obligations unaffected.
  • Branches, subsidiaries and offices of MEXC Global located in the United States are expressly excluded from the order's scope.

SFC to expand list of restricted entity names after consultation support

The SFC has concluded a consultation launched in June 2025 on tightening rules against unregulated entities using names that imply regulatory status. This briefing covers the final direction, the scope of new restricted titles, and the legislative path ahead for compliance and government affairs teams tracking Hong Kong's financial crime and markets perimeter.

  • The SFC received nine submissions during the consultation, from industry associations, professional bodies, a bank and other interested parties.
  • The expanded section 34 SFO list will cover titles now commonly used instead of 'exchange', terms describing SFO-regulated products, clearing-specific terms, and names or acronyms of well-known or established operations.
  • A new provision under the AMLO will specifically target virtual asset trading platforms and virtual assets not related to securities or futures that may be traded or cleared through VATPs.
  • The SFC agreed to respondents' request for a mechanism enabling faster updates to the restricted titles list and has amended its proposals accordingly.
  • The SFC will introduce an amendment bill into the Legislative Council for consideration and approval, and has updated its FAQs on the proposed amendments.
