OKX Star: Please temporarily avoid transferring funds directly from MEXC to OKX, as the related funds may be frozen for review

OKX founder Star responded to user complaints, reminding users to temporarily avoid transferring funds directly from MEXC to OKX. He stated that OKX is managing risks according to prudent standards similar to financial sanctions due to special measures taken by FinCEN. According to the platform's compliance and risk control measures, funds from relevant platforms may be frozen for review, and related accounts may be subject to further investigation.

Star mentioned that although FinCEN provided a 30-day transition period, OKX chose to significantly strengthen relevant risk controls in advance rather than waiting until the deadline to take action. He apologized to affected users, expressing understanding of their concerns and dissatisfaction, and emphasized that protecting user interests and maintaining the safety and integrity of the financial system is the platform's highest priority.

Previously, an X user posted that 848.8 USDT and 11.7 USDT transferred from their MEXC account to OKX were both frozen and undergoing risk review, citing that the funds came from a "potentially high-risk address." The user requested the platform to clarify the basis for the freeze, the review timeline, and the materials required to verify the source of the funds.
