## MEXC compliance review
MEXC CEO Vugar Usi said the exchange has opened an independent review of its anti-money laundering and sanctions controls after a U.S. order restricted its access to the financial system.
## U.S. financial system order
The order from the U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) bars U.S. financial institutions from processing transfers involving MEXC.
## Alleged sanctions evasion activity
FinCEN alleged the exchange processed at least $16 billion connected to sanctions evasion, cybercrime and other illegal activity between May 2021 and May 2026.
## Key takeaway

MEXC began an independent review of its anti-money laundering and sanctions compliance controls following a U.S. Treasury order that blocked its financial system access after allegedly processing $16 billion in sanctions evasion activity.
