MEXC Boosts Guardian Fund With 1,000 BTC to Enhance Security
Digital asset trading platform MEXC has added another 1,000 BTC to its Guardian Fund, bringing the total reserves to 100 million USDT and 2,000 BTC as part of its plan to reach a $500 million target.
Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 1, 2026 – Zero-fee digital asset trading platform MEXC announced today that it has added another 1,000 BTC to its Guardian Fund, marking the second substantial Bitcoin allocation to the reserve this year. This latest deposit builds upon the platform’s May initiative to scale the Guardian Fund from $100 million to $500 million over a two-year span, reinforcing user protection measures to adapt to shifting market conditions and security threats.
With this newest injection, the Guardian Fund currently holds 100 million USDT and 2,000 BTC, bolstering MEXC’s safety reserves amid ongoing security challenges across the digital asset sector. Recent security breaches underscore that threats to crypto platforms and traders are dynamic, proving that robust user protection demands continuous investments in capital reserves, technology, and risk-management systems.
MEXC initially incorporated Bitcoin into the fund as a long-term reserve asset alongside liquid USDT during its May allocation. This new deposit represents the next phase of that plan, showcasing MEXC’s philosophy that user protection must be an ongoing, reinforced process rather than a static setup. The platform intends to keep expanding the fund alongside the growth of its global user base, asset selection, and operating environment.
To ensure accountability, MEXC makes its Guardian Fund holdings publicly verifiable on-chain via disclosed wallet addresses. This latest BTC integration pushes the platform closer to its $500 million goal while reinforcing broader investments in security, long-term user protection, and transparency.
“Security and user protection is not a one-time investment. It is a continuous commitment,” said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC. “The risks facing digital asset platforms continue to evolve, and the resources behind user protection need to evolve with them. Adding another 1,000 BTC to the Guardian Fund reflects our long-term approach to building stronger protection for users and ensuring that the infrastructure behind that protection continues to grow with MEXC.”
