The awards span advances in artificial intelligence, corporate social responsibility and individual leadership, representing significant recognition of MEXC’s progress on multiple fronts.
MEXC received two Silver Awards: the Award for Innovation Excellence in AI Products and Services: Financial Services Industriesand the Award to Innovative achievement in corporate social responsibility.
The AI award is in recognition of MEXC’s Intelligent Investment Framework, launched in January 2026 to deploy institutional-grade business intelligence to more than 40 million users through a deep learning risk engine, predictive strategy builder, and real-time anomaly detection system. MEXC Research analyzed over 780,000 Gen Z accounts and found that users who adopted the tools recorded 47% fewer incidents of panic selling during periods of market stress.
MEXC has demonstrated its commitment to corporate social responsibility. Their “One Mint, One Hope” blockchain-based NFT campaign in Turkey raised approximately $150,000 for an earthquake survivor, with 100% of the proceeds delivered on-chain directly to the beneficiary. In parallel, the MEXC Law Enforcement Liaison Team neutralized more than 8,500 illicit incidents across the MENA region in 2025, directly assisting regional authorities in protecting their user community.
Vugar Usi, who previously served as COO before moving to CEO, earned bronze awards for Most innovative leader of the year and The most innovative team builder of the year. He oversaw a comprehensive review of the platform’s risk and compliance frameworks, established the Legal Compliance Liaison Team that neutralized nearly 14,000 illicit incidents globally in 2025, and launched the MEXC Foundation’s $30 million educational fund, directing investment to university partnerships and developer programs across the MENA region to build long-term Web3 talent pipelines.
While MEXC marks its 8th anniversaryThe platform unveiled a new logo and comprehensive brand refresh, and appointed Vugar Usi as CEO, as part of its commitment to better empower users, expand access to global markets, and drive meaningful progress across the industry. The new logo evolves from the the central “M” of the brand into a simpler and more fluid symbol. Its shape echoes infinity, representing “Infinite Opportunities” to users around the world, while the same shape is read as two zeros, reflecting MEXC’s zero-fee philosophy of removing barriers that stand between traders and opportunities.
“Receiving these awards alongside the MEXC team means a lot to us. Everything we have done, from creating AI-powered trading tools that give every trader a real advantage, to empowering our community and investing in the next generation of Web3 talent, reflects the values on which we have built this platform.
