Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 16, 2026 — MEXC, a digital asset trading platform known for its 0-fee model, has released its October 2026 Proof of Reserves (PoR) report. Independently audited by blockchain security firm Hacken, the report confirms that the platform's reserves continue to fully cover user holdings across all major reserve assets. As part of what the company describes as a user-first commitment, MEXC publishes monthly reserve data that users can independently verify.

According to the audit report, MEXC's reserve ratios stand at 294% for BTC, 122% for USDT, 115% for USDC, and 111% for ETH. All four reserve ratios exceed the 100% benchmark — the point at which reported reserves equal recorded user liabilities — with BTC showing the largest margin above it.

MEXC's PoR framework combines user-level verification, on-chain transparency, and independent third-party audits. Through Merkle Tree technology, a cryptographic method that lets individual account records be checked against a summarized dataset without exposing other users' information, users can independently verify that their account balances are included in the platform's reported liabilities while preserving the privacy and confidentiality of their account information. The platform also publicly discloses its custodial wallet addresses, enabling anyone to independently verify its on-chain holdings.

Third-party Proof of Reserves audits gained industry-wide adoption after the 2022 collapse of several major centralized exchanges, which underscored the risks when users cannot verify a platform's stated holdings. To reinforce transparency and external oversight, MEXC partners with Hacken, an independent blockchain security and auditing firm, to conduct monthly Proof of Reserves audits covering Proof of Liabilities, Proof of Ownership, Reserves Calculation, and Merkle-tree verification. The October 2026 audit report is published on Hacken's audit portal.

Beyond regular PoR reporting, MEXC says it continues to strengthen a multi-layered security framework to protect user assets. The platform employs cold and hot wallet management, supported by multi-signature authorization and layered risk controls. The MEXC Futures Insurance Fund is designed to cover losses that exceed a user's margin following liquidation, providing a risk buffer during extreme market conditions. The Guardian Fund is intended to protect users facing serious security incidents, including large-scale exploits, targeted attacks, and unforeseen system vulnerabilities.

MEXC noted that recent attacks across the digital asset industry have again demonstrated that security threats are not static. Against this backdrop, the company says it continues to invest in capital reserves, technology, and risk-management infrastructure to strengthen user protection. In September, MEXC added another 1,000 BTC to the fund, marking its second major BTC allocation this year following an initial allocation in May. The fund now holds over 100 million USDT and 2,000 BTC, and the company aims to expand it to $500 million within two years. That two-year target, together with the monthly cadence of PoR disclosures, gives users a recurring benchmark against which the company's stated commitments can be tracked.

The latest Proof of Reserves snapshot and audit report are available on the MEXC Proof of Reserves page. The announcement was also published on MEXC's official blog.
