Cryptocurrency exchange MEXC saw increased activity<\/a> on its platform on Friday, October 31st, with several users seemingly moving their assets away. These massive withdrawals coincided with the exchange\u2019s chief strategy officer\u2019s public apology for mishandling a situation with a user with the pseudonym The White Whale.<\/p>\n

Earlier in July, The White Whale claimed that MEXC froze over $3.1 million worth of his personal funds without any terms of service violations. The crypto user later launched a $2 million social media pressure<\/a> campaign against the exchange, claiming that the trading platform had requested a 12-month review period before unfreezing their funds.<\/p>\n

The White Whale said the \u201cvague review\u201d allowed the exchange to hold customers\u2019 money hostage despite having completed the platform\u2019s most advanced KYC (Know Your Client) process.<\/p>\n

MEXC Apologizes For Withholding Users\u2019 Personal Funds<\/b><\/h2>\n

On Friday, MEXC Chief Strategy Officer Cecilia Hsueh took to X<\/a> to apologize to White Whale on behalf of the exchange. After revealing that the user\u2019s money has been released, and \u201che can claim it at any time,\u201d the exchange\u2019s executive said that she got emotional communicating with White Whale when she shouldn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n

Hsueh added in the post on X:<\/p>\n

\n

Since I joined MEXC 2 months ago I\u2019ve been fighting behind the scenes to get MEXC to change. We grew really fast\u2014a few years ago, we were a very small exchange, but given our current scale, our risk, operations, and PR teams have not kept up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore, the exchange\u2019s CSO clarified that her statement was not limited only to the White Whale\u2019s case.\u00a0 Hsueh said other users with unresolved account issues will also be attended to, as they look to implement changes that will improve their transparency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is Another FTX Fiasco Looming?<\/b><\/h2>\n

A few minutes after this apology was posted on the X platform, pseudonymous on-chain analyst Maartunn revealed<\/a> that exchange withdrawal transactions on MEXC were on the rise. It appeared at the time that users were moving their funds off the cryptocurrency platform.<\/p>\n

Burak Kesmeci, another prominent on-chain analyst, also noticed the big outflows from the MEXC exchange, likening this situation to that of the now-defunct FTX exchange. However, the crypto pundit later revealed that the exchange\u2019s Bitcoin reserves are still intact<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth mentioning that FTX\u2019s Bitcoin reserves were found to have hit zero days before the exchange declared bankruptcy. Hence, if there is to be a repeat of such an incident, the Bitcoin reserves might be worth watching over the next few days.<\/p>\n
