Fully Banned Countries (No Access)
The following countries are completely blocked from all MEXC services including registration, login, and trading due to international sanctions or local regulations: United States (US), Canada, Iran, Cuba, North Korea (DPRK), Syria, Sudan, Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, and Sevastopol (Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine). Users from these locations cannot create accounts, access the platform, or trade in any capacity. VPN usage to circumvent these restrictions violates MEXC Terms of Service and may result in permanent account freezing and loss of funds. MEXC actively monitors IP addresses and may request additional verification if suspicious access patterns are detected.
Partially Restricted Countries
Several countries have partial restrictions — users can trade but face specific limitations. Mainland China: access blocked since crypto trading ban, but Hong Kong users may access with restrictions. Singapore: not available due to MAS regulations; users cannot register. Indonesia: MEXC app not available in local app stores, but web access may work. Japan: app store restrictions apply, limited services. India: must use mexc.co domain instead of mexc.com; app store downloads restricted. Turkey: must use mexc.co domain. France: must use mexc.co due to AMF regulations. Nigeria: domain redirect to mexc.co required. South Korea: app availability limited. UK: available with FCA license but certain products may be restricted. Malaysia: Securities Commission warning issued; access may be limited. These restrictions change frequently — always check MEXC official announcements for the latest status in your country.

Where MEXC Is Fully Available
MEXC is fully available with all features in most of the world — over 170 countries. Major markets with full access include: most of Europe (Germany, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, etc.), most of South America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru), most of Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh), Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan), Africa (South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania), and Oceania (Australia with AUSTRAC registration, New Zealand). In these countries, users can register, complete KYC, deposit, trade spot and futures, use P2P, access Launchpad, and withdraw without additional restrictions. Regional domain redirects may apply (mexc.co vs mexc.com) but all features remain available.
Why Countries Get Restricted
MEXC restricts access for several reasons: (1) International sanctions — the US, EU, and UN maintain sanctions lists that prohibit financial services to certain countries (North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan), and crypto exchanges must comply; (2) Local regulations — some countries require specific licenses for crypto exchanges (US requires state-by-state money transmitter licenses, Singapore MAS license), and MEXC has chosen not to apply in these jurisdictions; (3) Securities warnings — regulators in some countries (Malaysia, Japan) have issued warnings about MEXC operating without local registration; (4) Compliance strategy — MEXC is gradually pursuing licenses worldwide, and some current restrictions may be lifted as new licenses are obtained. The regulatory landscape for crypto is rapidly evolving, meaning the restricted countries list changes regularly.
