Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 1, 2026 โ MEXC, a pioneer in zero-fee digital asset trading, today announced it has added another 1,000 BTC to its Guardian Fund. This is the second major BTC allocation to the fund this year. The move follows MEXC’s May commitment to grow the Guardian Fund from $100 million to $500 million over two years, further strengthening the fund to keep up with changing market conditions, security risks, and broader user protection needs.
With this latest allocation, the Guardian Fund now holds 100 million USDT and 2,000 BTC, further reinforcing MEXC’s user protection reserves as the digital asset industry continues to face evolving security risks. A series of security incidents across the industry has highlighted the changing risk landscape for crypto platforms and users. Recent attacks have shown once again that security threats are not static, and that protecting users requires ongoing investment in capital reserves, technology, and risk-management infrastructure.
MEXC’s first 1,000 BTC allocation in May established Bitcoin as a long-term reserve component of the Guardian Fund alongside liquid USDT reserves. The latest addition marks the next stage of that strategy, reflecting MEXC’s view that user protection is a system that must be continuously reinforced, not a reserve set up once. MEXC will continue strengthening the fund as its global user base, asset coverage, and operating environment grow and change.
MEXC has made its Guardian Fund holdings publicly traceable on-chain through disclosed wallet addresses, allowing users to independently verify the reserves. The additional BTC further strengthens the fund as MEXC works toward its $500 million target while investing in security, transparency, and risk-management infrastructure designed to protect users over the long term.
“Security and user protection is not a one-time investment. It is a continuous commitment,” said Vugar Usi, CEO of MEXC. “The risks facing digital asset platforms continue to evolve, and the resources behind user protection need to evolve with them. Adding another 1,000 BTC to the Guardian Fund reflects our long-term approach to building stronger protection for users and ensuring that the infrastructure behind that protection continues to grow with MEXC.”
