Regulatory Milestones
The exchange has obtained:
- Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration in Lithuania

These regulatory achievements enable MEXC to offer services to European users with full compliance with local regulations, including Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements.
Strategic Importance
"Europe represents a critical market in our global expansion strategy," said the Chief Compliance Officer at MEXC. "These regulatory approvals demonstrate our commitment to operating as a fully compliant exchange in every jurisdiction where we serve customers."
The European cryptocurrency market has experienced significant growth, with institutional adoption particularly strong in countries like Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. By securing these regulatory approvals, MEXC positions itself to capture market share in this growing region.
Enhanced European Services
With these regulatory foundations in place, MEXC has announced several Europe-specific initiatives:
- Euro trading pairs for over 100 cryptocurrencies
- SEPA integration for faster Euro deposits and withdrawals
- Dedicated European customer support team
- Regional office in Vilnius, Lithuania serving as the European headquarters
Compliance Focus
The regulatory approvals come after MEXC invested heavily in its compliance infrastructure, including:
- Enhanced KYC/AML procedures

Industry observers note that regulatory compliance has become increasingly important in the cryptocurrency exchange business, with users and institutional clients preferring platforms that operate within clear regulatory frameworks.
"We believe the future of cryptocurrency trading will be increasingly regulated," the MEXC executive added. "Exchanges that proactively embrace compliance will have a significant advantage in building trust with both retail and institutional users."
