What is specific to MEXC: silent risk control
The usual complaint about MEXC is not the block itself but the absence of information: tickets receive template answers saying a review is under way, with no timeframe and no list of documents. Waiting for the platform to take the initiative is unproductive — you have to take it yourself.
Strategy when the platform stays silent
- A proactive file. Without waiting to be asked, send a structured package into the ticket: source of funds, the origin of your most recent large deposits, and identity confirmation. That removes the formal justification for the review continuing.
- Record the timeline. State in every message the date of your first contact and the number of days the block has run. That chronology becomes the backbone of a claim.
- A formal claim after 4–6 weeks requiring the platform to state the basis for the hold. The phrase "risk control" with no legal basis within a reasonable time is itself a breach of the agreement by the platform.
- Derivatives positions: if positions were force-closed at a loss when the block was imposed, that is a separate claim for compensation.
If "at the request of a competent authority" appears in the correspondence, switch to the procedure for externally ordered freezes.
Frequently asked questions
MEXC is not answering my tickets about the freeze — is that normal?
It is common practice at that platform, but it is not the standard: a reasonable review takes weeks, not months. A proactive document file plus a formal claim work better than waiting.
How long does a MEXC unblock take?
With an active approach, 2–8 weeks. Passive waiting routinely stretches into months.
