MEXC AI Cuts Crypto Crime by 36% in Q3 2025

MEXC’s artificial intelligence framework represents a comprehensive approach to crypto security, integrating transaction-pattern recognition, behavioral modeling, and fraud-signature analytics to identify illicit activity before it occurs. Since Q2 2025, the system has flagged or blocked over 70,000 suspicious actions, freezing approximately $4.97 million USDT in questionable funds and intercepting 48 confirmed fraud cases during just July and August. This 36% reduction in organized crime activity marks one of the strongest quarterly declines reported in the cryptocurrency sector this year, positioning MEXC at the forefront of AI-driven security innovation.

The system has proven particularly effective against the growing threat of AI-generated deepfakes used to bypass Know Your Customer (KYC) checks. MEXC reported detecting 3,097 fraudulent liveness-verification attempts in Q3 alone—a 15% increase from the previous quarter, highlighting the escalating sophistication of identity spoofing attacks. The exchange’s detection modules are trained on synthetic-media datasets, improving the system’s ability to filter out falsified identities without compromising user onboarding speed. This capability has become crucial in maintaining both regulatory compliance and user security in an era where deepfake technology represents one of the most dangerous frontiers in digital fraud.

MEXC’s AI model demonstrates remarkable flexibility through continuous retraining using local incident data, allowing it to adapt to regional crime patterns with precision. In Southeast Asia, a region long targeted by cross-border scam networks, the exchange reported a 59% drop in fraud incidents during Q3. Indonesia—previously identified as a hotspot for collusive accounts—saw a dramatic 72% reduction in suspicious activity following the rollout of stricter withdrawal verification and AI-powered screening protocols.

The regional success extends beyond Southeast Asia, with South Asia experiencing a 35% decline in organized-crime activity after MEXC retrained its model on regional behavioral data. The CIS region saw a 31% improvement linked to new anomaly-detection tools and expanded cooperation with local enforcement agencies. The framework integrates real-time data analysis with regional escalation channels, scanning every transaction for anomalies in spending behavior, device fingerprints, and network origins. When irregularities are detected, cases are automatically escalated to MEXC’s 24-hour security desk for immediate action.

MEXC’s security framework extends beyond detection to active collaboration with global law enforcement agencies. In Q3, the exchange processed 593 assistance requests and 121 official freeze orders from authorities worldwide. This cooperation proved instrumental in recovering $900,000 USDT in user funds that had been mistakenly sent to incorrect addresses—part of MEXC’s broader initiative to enhance user asset protection through technological and operational partnerships.

The effectiveness of this approach was recognized at the International Counter-Fraud Conference (ICFC 2025) in Seoul, where MEXC presented its cross-border anti-fraud framework co-developed with compliance firm Transight. Beyond detection capabilities, MEXC has positioned AI as its “first line of defense,” backed by ongoing joint training programs with regulators and enforcement agencies across Southeast Asia, the CIS, and Latin America. These initiatives focus on improving investigative coordination, evidence handling, and digital forensics through hands-on case simulation and AI-assisted analysis, creating a comprehensive ecosystem for combating crypto-related financial crime.
