MEXC, which claims to be the world's fastest-growing exchange and pioneered true zero-fee trading, said that relying on fragmented risk data is a critical vulnerability. By bringing in World-Check, the exchange aims to centralize its screening for sanctions, politically exposed persons, and adverse media.
