FinCEN issues a Section 9714 order against MEXC, starting a 30-day period for restrictions on fund transfers

MEXC races against FinCEN’s 30-day clock after Russia-law cutoff

AI brief

AI-assisted source summary · not independently verified. Content standards

FinCEN issued an order against MEXC under Section 9714 of the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act, prohibiting U.S. financial institutions from sending or receiving funds to or from it; the 30-day period begins on the date the order is published in the Federal Register. MEXC founder Vugar Usi said the company had submitted a written request to FinCEN through a U.S. law firm and was willing to cooperate; the order does not apply to institutions registered outside the United States, and the article says MEXC's non-U.S. operations are expected to be unaffected.

Why it matters

The article distinguishes the order's restrictions on fund transfers involving U.S. institutions from its applicability to overseas operations, and details MEXC's response seeking communication within the 30-day period.
