Mutsamudu, Comoros — October 16, 2026 — MEXC, a prominent global digital asset trading platform known for its zero-fee model, has officially released its Proof of Reserves (PoR) report for October 2026. Independently audited and verified by blockchain security firm Hacken, the comprehensive financial snapshot confirms that the exchange continues to maintain robust reserve ratios well above 100% across all major assets, ensuring that user holdings are fully backed and securely accounted for.
The release of the October 2026 figures underlines the platform’s ongoing dedication to transparency, accountability, and user-first principles in an evolving digital asset landscape. By publishing verifiable monthly reserve data, MEXC aims to reinforce market confidence and provide its global user base with verifiable proof of its financial solvency.
Robust Solvency Ratios Across Major Digital Assets
According to the audit report conducted by Hacken, MEXC’s reserve ratios demonstrate significant over-collateralization across its primary reserve holdings. Specifically, the audit revealed reserve ratios of 294% for Bitcoin (BTC), 122% for Tether (USDT), 115% for USD Coin (USDC), and 111% for Ethereum (ETH).
All four tracked assets comfortably exceed the standard 100% benchmark required to cover all user liabilities on a one-to-one basis. Notably, Bitcoin maintains the highest margin of over-collateralization on the platform, standing at nearly triple the total user liabilities for the asset. This substantial buffer is designed to protect user assets against market volatility and provide an additional layer of financial security.
Multi-Layered Verification and Transparency Framework
MEXC’s comprehensive Proof of Reserves framework relies on a combination of user-level verification tools, transparent on-chain data, and rigorous third-party oversight. The platform utilizes advanced Merkle Tree cryptography, allowing individual users to independently verify that their personal account balances are accurately accounted for within the platform’s aggregated liability data. This cryptographic method ensures absolute transparency while strictly preserving the privacy and confidentiality of sensitive user account information.
In addition to cryptographic verification through Merkle Trees, MEXC publicly discloses its custodial wallet addresses. This open approach enables independent observers, analysts, and users to monitor and verify the platform’s on-chain holdings in real time. To maintain the highest standards of external validation, MEXC collaborates with Hacken, an independent and globally recognized blockchain security and auditing firm. Hacken’s periodic audits thoroughly examine critical components of the exchange’s financial health, including Proof of Liabilities, Proof of Ownership, overall reserves calculation, and comprehensive Merkle tree verification procedures.
Strengthening Security Infrastructure and Risk Management
Beyond standard monthly Proof of Reserves reporting, MEXC continues to heavily invest in its multi-layered security architecture to safeguard user funds against potential threats and extreme market volatility. The exchange employs a sophisticated asset management strategy that combines cold and hot wallet storage solutions, reinforced by multi-signature authorization protocols and layered risk control mechanisms.
To mitigate systemic risks and protect traders during periods of severe market turbulence, MEXC operates specialized financial buffers. The MEXC Futures Insurance Fund is specifically structured to cover losses that exceed a user’s initial margin following a forced liquidation, offering a vital risk mitigation buffer during unprecedented market swings.
Furthermore, the MEXC Guardian Fund is maintained to protect users against severe and unforeseen security incidents, such as large-scale network exploits, targeted cyber attacks, or critical system vulnerabilities. Acknowledging that security threats within the broader digital asset industry remain dynamic and persistent, MEXC has steadily expanded its dedicated financial safety reserves throughout the year.
As part of its ongoing capital allocation strategy, the platform added another 1,000 BTC to its safety funds in September, following an initial major allocation executed earlier in May. With these additions, the security funds now hold over 100 million USDT alongside 2,000 BTC, bringing the exchange closer to its stated strategic goal of expanding the combined fund value to $500 million within a two-year timeline.
The complete October 2026 Proof of Reserves snapshot, along with the detailed audit findings provided by Hacken, can be accessed directly through the official MEXC Proof of Reserves portal.
