MEXC France Wind-Down Starts Nov 18 For Batch 1, Ends Mar 5

The MEXC France wind-down runs in four batches, and the first closes on November 17 at 23:59 (UTC+1). French-linked users who have not read their email have nine days from November 8.

MEXC published the France wind-down notice on October 28. It applies to anyone "identified as linked to France, based on KYC and account information," and French registrations are closed. Each person gets an email naming a batch and the dates that apply, with a prompt to check the spam folder.

The dates are simple enough. Batch 1 winds down on November 18 and batch 2 on December 10. Batch 3 follows on December 31, and batch 4 on January 22, 2027. The action-required date for each is the evening before.

Preparation windows run about three weeks each. Batch 1 has October 28 to November 17. Batch 2 has November 19 to December 9. Batch 3 has December 11 to December 30, and batch 4 has January 1 to January 21. MEXC does not say how it decides who lands in which batch.

What changes on a MEXC France wind-down date

Until the batch date of the MEXC France wind-down, every account feature works as normal. From the first minute of the start date, the account goes into reduce-only mode. No new deposits, spot buys, Earn subscriptions or loans are allowed. Opening or adding to a position is blocked.

You can still close or cut positions. Margin top-ups, loan repayments and withdrawals also keep working. That is nearly MEXC's own wording, and withdrawals stay open throughout.

Event restrictions are applied in the same four batches, and the notice dates them from October 28. People in the group cannot enter new events, and running ones stop for them. Rewards already earned still count, provided they are paid out by January 25, 2027.

Three late dates in the MEXC France wind-down

Three later dates matter to anyone holding leveraged positions or a forgotten balance.

At 00:00 on January 22, MEXC closes any position still open. It uses what it calls fair price. Whatever else is left gets settled according to liquidity and market conditions. Nothing there promises a price. The notice urges users to close positions and clean up before that day.

On January 25 every affected account becomes withdrawal-only. Withdrawals then close on March 5, 2027 at 00:00. Anything left after that is moved to a regulated custodian, and MEXC says arrangements will come in a separate announcement.

What MEXC says about referrals and scams

MEXC has arranged referral options with EU-regulated trading platforms, and eligible users will be contacted by email. The notice is blunt about one point. "Your MEXC account and assets will not be transferred automatically." Moving to another platform means opening an account, passing checks again and sending funds yourself.

Filing a review request will not buy you extra time. Got the wrong nationality on file? Tell customer service early. The dates keep running unless MEXC says otherwise.

Any exchange wind-down is a favorite cover for phishing. The notice repeats that MEXC will never ask for passwords, verification codes or private keys. It will also never ask anyone to move funds to a "migration" or "safe" wallet.

A separate announcement is due on how each product will be handled. Until it arrives, the dates above are the only commitments in writing.
