MEXC, a cryptocurrency exchange with over 40 million users, has integrated LSEG Risk Intelligence’s World-Check platform to enhance its anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing capabilities. The integration, announced July 29, 2026, enables real-time screening against global regulatory and sanctions watchlists while identifying politically exposed persons and monitoring adverse media activity across the platform’s user base.
- Platform Users: Over 40 million across 170+ markets
- Digital Assets Available: 3,000+
- Trading Fee Structure: Zero-fee trading
- Risk Intelligence Provider: LSEG Risk Intelligence
The deployment represents a shift toward preventative rather than reactive compliance strategies in cryptocurrency trading. World-Check, recognized as an authoritative risk intelligence database used by traditional financial institutions, screens users during onboarding and continuously monitors existing accounts to identify high-risk actors. By embedding institutional-grade screening directly into its workflows, MEXC aims to align digital asset trading with regulatory standards applied across traditional finance.
At MEXC, protecting our users and partners is non-negotiable. By integrating LSEG’s World-Check risk intelligence platform into our digital asset infrastructure, we are setting a new standard for compliance and transparency in the industry.
Vugar Usi, MEXC’s Chief Executive Officer, emphasized the exchange’s commitment to building confidence among legitimate market participants. Michael Meadon, Director of Asia Pacific at LSEG Risk Intelligence, noted that as digital assets mature, participants increasingly expect compliance rigor comparable to traditional finance. The integration addresses growing regulatory expectations and supports a safer trading environment by enhancing screening precision and ongoing account monitoring across the global user base.
