O Tesouro dos Estados Unidos impôs sanções à MEXC Global em 6 de novembro de 2026, Determined que a exchange virtual seja impedida de acessar o sistema financeiro do país. A medida foi anunciada por meio de uma ordem da Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, conhecida como FinCEN, segundo The Cryptonomist. Ao assesses areported illegal volume, The Cryptonomist e The Block convergent on the estimate of US$ 16 billion in transactions allegedly linked to illicit activity and sanctions evasion.

The Block informa que a operação estimated US$ 16 billion em transações ligadas ao Irã. The Cryptonomist também registra esse valor e atribui à ordem da FinCEN oogne wider allegations involving sanctions evasion connected to Iran, North Korea and Russia. The central mechanism described by the outlets is the removal of MEXC Global's access to US financial institutions, while Coinfomania characterizes the development as a regulatory enforcement action by the Treasury Department.

A cobertura é convergente quanto ao alcance da decisão: MEXC Global deixa de poder operar-linked com o sistema financeiro dos Estados Unidos. A estimate of US$ 16 billion appears in two of the three reports and was corroborated by the independent figure cross-check provided for this story. The outlets do not identify a different volume; their main difference is the emphasis, with The Block foregrounding Iran, The Cryptonomist listing Iran, North Korea and Russia, and Coinfomania presenting the action in broader regulatory-enforcement terms.

The allegations concern transactions allegedly used to support sanctions evasion, rather than a finding announced in the supplied coverage. MEXC Global is the entity directly affected, and the restriction targets its access to US financial institutions. The reports do not provide details about individual users, the number of accounts involved or any subsequent appeal, so those elements cannot be quantified from the available information.

At data time, the total crypto market capitalization stands at US$ 2.62 trillion and the broader market is flat. Bitcoin trades with a 0.09% decline over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index reads 25, classified as Extreme Fear. No coin from the monitored list was specifically identified in this enforcement action. The broader market data therefore shows limited immediate movement, and the next relevant indicators are the official enforcement record, any formal response from MEXC Global and the practical effects of the restriction on US financial connectivity.
