Decrypt reports that the U.S. Treasury has barred financial institutions from engaging with the crypto exchange MEXC. This action is part of Operation Economic Outcast and follows claims that MEXC facilitated $16 billion in illicit finance linked to Iran, North Korea, and Russia. The order from FinCEN prohibits any transfers to or from MEXC by U.S. entities.
