MEXC Expands Guardian Fund to $500M, Acquires 1,000 BTC for Enhanced User Protection

MEXC, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has committed to expanding its Guardian Fund from $100 million to $500 million over the next two years. The move aims to strengthen user protection and platform stability as MEXC continues to scale globally.

The expansion comes alongside the acquisition of 1,000 Bitcoin, establishing a dual-reserve structure that balances immediate deployable capital with long-term reserve durability. USDT reserves provide liquidity and operational flexibility during periods of stress, while Bitcoin serves as a long-term reserve asset intended to strengthen the fund's ability to preserve value across market cycles.

Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC, emphasized the importance of building institutional-grade protection infrastructure at global scale: 'Trust has to be capitalized, not just claimed.'
