On December 26, 2025, while attempting to deposit ATOM from my personal Osmosis wallet to the MEXC exchange, I accidentally sent the tokens directly to my MEXC Osmosis deposit address without bridging them through the Cosmos network via IBC. This was completely unintentional and purely a user error.
The transaction details are as follows:
Token: ATOM
Network: Osmosis (IBC)
TxID: 1547C116EA21923C9EFC76016243E96D5E7A350D7659CA2C28AB57D19D25AB94
Recipient address: Osmo15X7y2z6X8kylt6qwefxzcwxnlfhp95syfcnl90
Memo: the correct memo associated with my MEXC account
I would like to emphasize that both the address and the memo fully belong to my MEXC account. I have previously sent OSMO from the same wallet to the same address using the same memo, and those transactions were credited to my account without any issues. In other words, the address and memo are correct; the problem occurred solely due to the token type. If necessary, I can prove that the sending wallet belongs to me.
MEXC customer support rejected my refund request, citing “failed matching” and stating that “ATOM is not supported on the Osmosis network.” However, the assets are not lost. They are still located in a hot wallet under MEXC’s control and remain accessible.
Despite my willingness to pay a high manual recovery fee and to accept all verification and risk procedures, my case was closed. Because of this approach, I believe I have been treated unfairly.
I request that my assets be manually returned to the sending wallet, or that I be provided with a clear, written, and definitive explanation explaining why such a recovery is technically impossible.
On December 28, 2024, I transferred 1,965,836.803054 WSM tokens from my OKX account to my wallet on MEXC Exchange using the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) network. The transaction was successful on OKX, and I have the blockchain transaction ID to prove it: txid: 0xbf134a82b02180dc5eeef7d5ce42eb8c9e07b10c6...
On August 22, 2024, I transferred USDT to my MEXC account from another exchange, but I forgot to include the memo information required for the Toncoin network. As a result, the funds didn’t arrive in my account. I submitted a refund request, which was approved, but now MEXC is asking for additional ...
This morning, I transferred USDT from Binance to MEXC but accidentally selected the wrong network (opBNB instead of BEP20) due to a moment of inattention. I immediately contacted customer support, only to be told I would need to wait 60 days for a resolution. This is an unreasonably long timeframe,...
On 06/12/2025, the MEXC crypto exchange froze my funds, stating that it was due to risk control being triggered. I am confident that I did not violate any rules. In fact, there had been no trading activity on my account for several days prior, only some old orders that were placed two months ago. I ...
On December 23, 2025, unauthorized convert and withdrawal transactions were carried out on my MEXC account without my knowledge or consent. Coins that I had been holding for years (HODL) were suddenly converted and withdrawn, resulting in a loss of approximately $426 at current market value. Just a ...
