OKX Founder Star: Please temporarily avoid depositing funds directly from MEXC to OKX; OKX will proactively implement risk controls.

OKX founder Star warned users on X: “Please do not deposit funds directly from MEXC to OKX at this time.” This measure stems from OKX’s proactive risk management in line with prudent, sanctions-like standards—specifically, the special measures recently issued by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Under OKX’s current compliance and risk-control policies, funds originating from affected platforms may be frozen and subjected to enhanced due diligence; associated accounts may also be required to cooperate with further investigations. Although FinCEN has granted a 30-day transition period, OKX has opted to significantly strengthen its risk controls ahead of the deadline—not waiting until the cutoff date. Safeguarding user rights—and upholding the security and integrity of the financial system—remain top strategic priorities for OKX.
