MEXC reports $750.9M futures insurance fund with reserve ratios above 100% across major trading pairs.
DeFi & Yields ·
MEXC's futures insurance fund grew to approximately 750.9 million USDT during May and June 2026, marking a 34.2% increase from the prior two-month cycle. The exchange maintains reserve coverage exceeding 100% for major trading pairs, with Bitcoin reserves alone at 269.35%, signaling substantial cushioning against potential shortfalls on those assets.
The fund expansion comes amid a broader industry security challenge. During the same reporting window, the crypto sector documented 142 separate security incidents resulting in roughly $194 million in confirmed losses, with decentralized finance protocols accounting for approximately $150 million of that total. Cross-chain bridges, smart-contract vulnerabilities, and concentrated on-chain assets emerged as primary attack vectors.
MEXC's disclosure focuses on its asset protection infrastructure but does not specify how the insolvency fund would operate during a major loss event, nor does it detail the mechanism by which reserve ratios are recalculated or maintained. The exchange also reported restricting over 9,500 accounts linked to organized risk activities and assisting in the recovery of 812 misdirected user deposits during the period.
