OKX users are facing deposit restrictions and delays following a special measure order from the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) targeting MEXC Global. Coinfomania reported that exchanges, including OKX and Binance, are conducting compliance reviews on funds originating from MEXC Global, prompting the freezing or scrutiny of incoming transfers to ensure regulatory alignment.

The enforcement action comes as FinCEN exercises its jurisdiction over cryptocurrency exchanges to enforce anti-money laundering regulations. Users have reported that deposits are being held for compliance checks, a move that could lead to liquidity challenges and impacted trader sentiment across affected platforms, particularly as the duration of these restrictive measures remains unclear.
