ST Warning Rules

Last revision date: [2024-10-29]

In order to foster healthy growth in the blockchain industry, improve user trading experience, and safeguard user interests, MEXC will conduct thorough market monitoring and tracking of listed projects. Should any of the following situations arise, MEXC will issue an ST warning or proceed with delisting the relevant project:

Project and Market Performance
  • Project price falls below 10% of the initial listing price.
  • Project price falls more than 60% within the first three days following listing.
  • Fewer than 100 users hold project tokens worth over $5 in their MEXC accounts.
  • The total holdings of project token holders average below 50,000 USDT daily for 30 consecutive days.
  • Insufficient liquidity and low trading volume for the project.
  • The average daily buy-sell spread exceeds 2% for 15 consecutive days.
  • The 15-day average price difference from other CEXs exceeds 15%.
  • The project experiences extreme price volatility.

Project Security
  • The project's smart contract code or other foundational infrastructure contains any technical or security vulnerabilities
  • The project or its token violates, or is at risk of violating, any legal or regulatory obligations
  • The project lacks on-chain maintenance, resulting in transaction failures

Project Operations
  • Negative news about the project or token is published or circulates on news outlets or social media.
  • The project team voluntarily requests delisting.
  • The project ceases commercial operations or stops maintenance, such as an inaccessible official website or inactive social media accounts (Twitter, Telegram, etc.).
  • The project issues additional tokens or undergoes a fork without providing at least 15 days' prior notice to the trading platform and users.
  • The project engages in actions considered malicious by MEXC, such as failing to inform MEXC and users in advance of major changes to the project or token, including but not limited to unexpected token issuance, market manipulation, or insider trading.

Project Team
  • Project team members (including but not limited to founders), affiliates, or advisors are suspected or found to be in violation of any applicable laws, with examples of laws and regulations.
  • Project team members (including but not limited to founders), affiliates, or advisors are found to disseminate content related to the sexual exploitation of children, violence, racism, politics or other inappropriate materials.
  • The project team is at risk of disbanding
  • The project faces liquidation, bankruptcy, or any situation that may lead to insolvency

Projects meeting the ST warning criteria will undergo evaluation and continuous monitoring. If the risk to users is assessed as significant, the project will be delisted 3 days following the ST warning.

Should the project team implement effective corrective actions, and if the project or token no longer triggers any of the warning criteria, MEXC reserves the right to remove the ST warning as appropriate.

The above conditions are not fixed. MEXC remains dedicated to a "Users First" service philosophy and will continuously refine and adjust ST rules in response to the project’s real circumstances. MEXC reserves the right to modify the above rules at any time. The updated rules will take effect immediately upon publication. If you have any questions, please contact MEXC's official staff.


This ST Warning Rule is drafted in English and may be translated by MEXC into other languages as necessary. If any discrepancies exist between the English version and other language version(s) of this ST Warning Rule, the English version shall prevail.
