财政部切断MEXC Global与美国金融系统联系：涉160亿美元非法交易
美国财政部金融犯罪执法网络（FinCEN）11月6日在华盛顿发布命令，作为「经济弃儿行动」（Operation Economic Outcast）的一部分，切断加密货币交易平台 MEXC Global 与美国金融系统的联系。财政部称，该平台至少促成了160亿美元与伊朗、朝鲜和俄罗斯规避制裁以及网络犯罪有关的非法交易，包括直接与受制裁对象交易。
财政部长 Scott Bessent 说：「金融机构不能两头占——要么支持伊朗政权，要么使用美国金融系统。」他表示，财政部将继续切断伊朗政权的经济命脉，挫败其利用数字资产规避美国制裁的企图。FinCEN 的命令禁止美国金融机构处理涉及 MEXC Global 的资金划转。
MEXC Global 成立于2018年。财政部称，截至2026年9月，该平台日交易量超过10亿美元、储备约50亿美元，是全球规模最大的20家可兑换虚拟货币交易平台之一，提供50多种货币的交易，并可交易3,000多种加密货币和代币化资产。
财政部称，2021年5月至2026年5月间，MEXC Global 促成至少160亿美元与规避制裁、网络犯罪等非法活动有关的资金流动，其中包括近15亿美元与俄罗斯规避制裁有关的交易，以及2.32亿美元与受美国、欧盟和英国制裁实体之间的直接交易。财政部称，该平台2026年6月仍在与受制裁的俄罗斯实体 Garantex 及其继任者 Grinex 处理交易——此时距外国资产控制办公室（OFAC）2022年4月指定 Garantex 已超过四年；该平台还促成至少2,600万美元使俄罗斯 A7 制裁规避网络受益的交易，并处理了近2亿美元与 A7A5 稳定币有关的交易。
在伊朗与朝鲜方向，财政部称，同一时期 MEXC Global 与40多家已确认的伊朗加密货币交易平台之间的直接交易约达10亿美元，并促成约2,200万美元使伊朗中央银行以及伊斯兰革命卫队及其圣城旅受益的交易；该平台涉及的非法活动还包括勒索软件与诈骗付款、俄罗斯及其他暗网市场活动。财政部称其反洗钱控制存在严重缺陷。
这项命令依据《打击俄罗斯洗钱法》第9714(a)条发布，禁止美国金融机构从事往返 MEXC Global 的任何资金传送，违反者可能面临民事或刑事处罚；命令不改变《银行保密法》下的既有义务（包括可疑活动报告要求）与 OFAC 管理的制裁，命令在《联邦公报》刊登30天后生效。财政部同时提示，向 FinCEN 举报人激励计划提供制裁违规信息者，若信息促成超过100万美元罚款的成功执法行动，可能获得奖励。（来源：美国财政部）
Treasury Cuts Off MEXC Global From U.S. Financial System Over $16 Billion in Illicit Transactions
The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued an order in Washington on November 6, 2026, as part of Operation Economic Outcast, effectively cutting off the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC Global's access to the U.S. financial system. Treasury said the platform has facilitated at least $16 billion in illicit transactions connected to Iranian, North Korean, and Russian sanctions evasion, as well as cybercrime, including by transacting directly with sanctioned actors.
"Financial institutions cannot have it both ways: Either you support the Iranian regime, or you have access to the U.S. financial system," said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. He said Treasury will continue to sever the Iranian regime's economic lifelines and thwart its attempts to circumvent U.S. sanctions using digital assets. FinCEN's order prevents U.S. financial institutions from processing funds transfers involving MEXC Global.
MEXC Global was founded in 2018. Treasury said that as of September 2026, the platform processed more than $1 billion in daily transactions and maintained approximately $5 billion in reserves, making it one of the top 20 largest convertible virtual currency exchangers in the world, offering trading in more than 50 currencies and access to more than 3,000 different cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets.
Between May 2021 and May 2026, Treasury said, MEXC Global facilitated the movement of at least $16 billion in funds connected to sanctions evasion, cybercrime, and other illicit activity, including nearly $1.5 billion in transactions linked to Russian sanctions evasion and $232 million in direct transactions with U.S.-, EU-, and UK-sanctioned entities. Treasury said the platform was still processing transactions with the sanctioned Russian entity Garantex, and its successor Grinex, as recently as June 2026, more than four years after the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Garantex in April 2022. It also facilitated at least $26 million in transactions benefitting the Russia-based, OFAC-sanctioned A7 sanctions evasion network and processed almost $200 million in transactions connected to the A7A5 stablecoin.
On Iran and North Korea, Treasury said that in the same period MEXC Global sent or received approximately $1 billion in direct transactions with more than 40 identified Iranian cryptocurrency exchangers, and facilitated approximately $22 million in transactions for the Central Bank of Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its Qods Force. The illicit activity also included ransomware and scam payments and Russian and other darknet market activity. Treasury said severe deficiencies in the platform's anti-money laundering controls allowed the activity.
The order, issued pursuant to section 9714(a) of the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act, prohibits U.S. financial institutions from engaging in any transmittal of funds from or to MEXC Global. Violations may result in civil or criminal penalties. The order does not modify existing obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act, including Suspicious Activity Report filing requirements, or sanctions administered by OFAC, and it is effective 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Treasury also noted that individuals who provide information about sanctions violations to FinCEN's whistleblower incentive program may be eligible for awards if the information leads to a successful enforcement action resulting in monetary penalties exceeding $1,000,000.
