Crypto exchange MEXC has frozen 1500 accounts connected to a large-scale coordinated group of market manipulators.
MEXC identified two coordinated groups engaging in abusive trading practices, including self-trading, spoofing, layering, and other types of market manipulation.
The exchange found that these manipulations involved daily trading volumes of over $20 million and caused short-term distortions and increased volatility of up to 120%.
MEXC applied a targeted rollback of suspicious transactions and suspended all identified accounts, ensuring the protection of user funds.
